Gave up on going to the usual group today. Instead I decided to walk to the grocery store, have a cup

of coffee, read my book and pick up a few things. I felt good about choosing to be alone instead of

trying to fit in again. It was snowing hard, and I thought why leave home at all? Of course we must

leave home, in our life and in our day otherwise we would never know the joy of going home. While

reading my book, Winter Count by Barry Lopez, I came across the line, “He spoke in a genial way, as

though misgivings were a part of everything”. Wonderful! It was like finding a trail marker when

you think you are lost on your hike.

I realize that my life is not the result of what happened to me, but the result of the choices I made

when something happened. There are no right and wrong decisions, there are only consequences

to decisions.
