We all make them. Every single day. Some choices are easy..."yes, I will have coffee this morning." Some are more difficult..."do I want to live like this anymore?"
Today I woke up to many different things flying straight toward me. A bit overwhelming for sure. Mostly little choices. I was getting grumpy as I saw that my day ahead is full of things that I really don't want to do, but can't put off either. If I choose to procrastinate it will bit me in the butt big time. I walked out the door with my kids in hand to take them to school and realized...I still have a choice. Do I want to carry this nasty attitude around with me all day? Do I want my kids to go to school feeling my anger? I was faced with a simple choice: Let. It. Go.
And thankfully, I did.
As you go forth through your day notice the choices that lie ahead. Maybe you can make some daring choices today. Maybe you can choose not to worry today. Perhaps you will make a life changing (for the better) choice today.
I am curious...do you have any choices you want to share?
Choices

Recently each day has been a choice of eating healthy to shed a few pounds. Also a choice of no longer worrying what others will or will not do. I choose to be joyful and do what I'm meant to do.
I'm so happy you chose to let it go :)
I choose to let go of past hurts, to live today, for today...to love, to be happy, to let go of things that I can do nothing about. How's that for a choice? LOL A pretty darn good one, I'd say!
Thanks, Caroline for reminding me to make my best choice for happiness today!
Beautiful photograph and I love the look here. It is so pretty...like a breath of fresh air :D

Even though I can feel overwhelmed with the kids' busy schedules, I'm trying to choose to see things in a lighthearted way. I don't want the kids to feel my stress.
Oh the choices I deal with moment by moment. Today I am choosing to do no work. My husband had surgery this morning so I am nursemaiding him lovingly, we took a long nap together, and now while he plays on the computer, so am I. The choice today was to not strive, but to be with what was here right in front of me--with acceptance and joy.xo
I am choosing to take each moment as it comes. I'm taking a little extra care of myself because I'm a bit under the weather. Sometimes I'm the only one who can pamper me, and that's ok.
my choice to take all the lessons I can from my current situation. and pray it changes soon. and try to find the bright spots because the alternative is just way too dark.
Knock, knock...

I took you up on your Zen post, and stopped by for a visit. I snuggled into my couch, and wrapped myself in the beauty you have lain out here in this space - beautiful.
Choices... so many, always, but a rather big one that I've pushed to the side, draped with throw covers, and tried disguising, but no longer can... yup, I have a big one to make.
Thank you for asking. I'm relieved you made yours, the weight can often be unbearable, yes?
(((hugs))),
love,
me
First, I need to tell you how beautiful the new header and the complimentary colors of your blog are. Beautiful photo here, as well. Wow!
And secondly, as far as choices go, I've been choosing to remain calm as much as possible.
oh dear. i have some big choices ahead of me, and they are difficult. and i am so tired at the thought of it, so i might just delay making any big decisions right away.
Caroline,
I'm finding my life right now is full of new possibilities. The choice...do I fully accept these, and really let them envelope me? Or do I sulk back? I hope it's the first one, that I can listen to my heart, fully, and step out of that box...
Choices...
Isn't it wonderful Caroline being able to make choices.
The key is to make a uniformed choice with the knowledge gained from really understanding who we are.
My experience is that everything is dependent on timing. Timing is everything. We can be shown something many times, but until we are ready to learn nothing will change. When we are ready to learn then the magic begins.
Three cheers for magic!!
Hugs

Wonderful post hon!! I think I felt the same way all week. Totally overwhelmed by soooo many things to do and finish or start. Thank you for the reminder to stay present so I am not a cranky mess!!
Hope your weekend is lovely!!
Namaste, Sarah
Perfect...its always a matter of perception.. Choice indeed we always have the choice to angry, or happy..and only we can make the choice to look beyond the crap and walk with a smile great post, L
my heart and head are fighting right now with some choices....damn them !
I guess I'll have to stick with my gut which is always right....
"Choices"-- life is full of daily choices. On my best days I try to look at them as opportunities. On my worst days I try to frame them as lessons. I believe in energy so regardless of choices, I try to put out positive energy because I need to receive positive energy.
By the way, I like your choice of this website. You have a way with words that is insightful, but your pictures are amazing and probably express your truest self. I love them, and am glad you have this outlet:)
Aha! Here it is again.
I can't get enough of this photo. The rich texture of the leaves is almost surrealistic. And the wealth of green tones and shades. Many thanks for this, Caroline.

today I am choosing to sleep in as late as I want without guilt
I love hearing about your choice of attitude. That is a choice we *always* have.
Lately I am choosing to forgo worry. I am trusting my angels and the benevolent forces of the universe to take care of me and to help my intentions for my life to come to be.
It is getting easier and easier to let go. :-)
It is all about choices isn't it, and sometimes the choice we think is the right one at the time winds up being the wrong one!
Love the recent photos and the new look. I'm working on a fall design for my blog too. Just need the right photos...
Sometimes when I'm feeling down (not today I must add) the biggest decision can be to get out of bed!! But you know what, if that is the only decision I make on that particular day - it ALWAYS turns out to be a good one. And I have to remind myself of that.
I love this picture of trees in autumn colours.
So in love with that photo! I'm an Autumn/Fall gal.
I'm making a choice every day to honour my creative impulses.
