"Day by day, what you
choose, what you think
and what you do is who
you become." ~Heraclitus
I really hadn't thought about
this in exactly this way. And
of course, it's our choices
that render us who we are.
My choice to live in Mexico
for 20 years gave me my
beautiful children, the gift
of the Spanish language and
many friends . . . Had it been
Canada, I might be speaking
French instead.
My choice to degree in teaching
gifted me 40 years of enjoyment
in the classroom, fond memories
and the love of my students . . .
Nursing, my first choice, would
not have suited me at all.
My choice to live in a 145 year
old tiniest of cabins has bought
me the quiet time I needed to
survive . . . Now, if I can only
survive winter!
Methinks I best be considering
very carefully the next choices
I make . . .
. . . I am nigh onto a 100 years
old after all!
