The choices we make

     It has been two weeks and a day since I last posted. Last week because it was a day before a holiday and yesterday, there was no excuse expect I forgot. However, for the last two weeks I have doing a lot of thinking about things. Things that I need to do as far as telling people things that have to do with my life; Things that family members are doing, and so on. These are just a couple of issues or thoughts that are going on in my mind and has been. I have to admit that it can be frustrating at times and it is now even but it all has to do with choices.
     It was once said, "There are always two choices. Two paths to take. One is easy, and its only reward is that it's easy." When contemplating about this, I can understand what this person was trying to say. You can choose who to be friends with, who to date, where to live, where to work and go to school, and to be happy. When it came time for me to be me, I didn't choose how I felt but my choice was to become who I was meant to be and it is my family's choice to accept this or not.
     The easy choice of course would be for them not to accept me but in the long run, who are they hurting? They are missing out on meeting a wonderful woman, aunt, sister, and friend. I have a choice that I actually have to make where my step-father is concerned. I need to talk to him about the changes in my life. The thing is for the last nine years, I have taking the easy choice and wanting others to talk to him about it.  Thinking back about the quote, I know now that the only outcome from that choice was it was easy.  I still face the challenge of talking to him.

     The funny thing is, at the moment I am not the only one that has to make choices.  Charlotte who is in NYC still, has choices that need to be made too.  Hers has to do with her children.  And of course the one thing that I am learning is choices affect more than just you.  What you decide is like a catalyst and of course as I have mentioned in other blogs, this return creates change.  The good thing about all this is that change is constantly happening so my advise to y'all is don't always make the easy choices.  Sometimes challenges make things more worth while and you may learn not only about yourself but also about those around you.

     Until next time......Blessed Be
