ah, the choices –
to play it safe
and go for the fudge, chocolate chips, or mint
or to venture into something
a little more adventurous perhaps
like playdough or potholes?

are choosing to click on
the ‘make payment’ option.

educate yourself about your options and choices. never remain in the dark of ignorance.”

grandies j & b make tough decisions.
in the end
it was
the magic collapsable cup and the fairies
that won them over.
both are helpful in emergencies
and
you never know when you will need them.
brilliant choices.

“you know, in life there are only three or four
fundamental decisions to make.
the rest is just luck.”

with my class of kinders
to help them
to understand
the process.
they all began by
standing on one side
or
somewhere in the middle.
we also had two happy monkeys,
curious george on one side
and
soft cuddly monkey on the other.
each made big promises,
each told
what they would do for the kinders
if they picked them.
each worked
to get the kinders on their side.
one promised
ice cream every day
one promised
3-hour recesses
one promised
no naps
and
on and on
went the promises.
and the littles
ran
back and forth
back and forth
as they heard
the promises made.
yet
one stood alone
and
never wavered
knowing what she wanted
and what she believed in
right from the beginning.
no naps.
ever.
and
when it was over
and the rest
had run
back and forth
and
back and forth,
she was still standing
where she began.
stronger than ever
smiling
and
wide awake.
the decisions you make are a choice of values
that reflect your life in every way.

look for your choices, pick the best one, then go with it.
