    Sunday Spark: You Have a Choice

    Best For Babes - Life Saving Devices

    Every moment you have a choice. A choice to feel happy or feel down. A choice to observe or react. To regret or move on. Feel resentful or make a change.

    When you’re presented with a challenge, you have a choice of how to face that challenge (or even to walk away – that too is a choice).

    At the end of the day, when your reserves are spent, when your children are bouncing off the walls, when bedtime is not quite here, your house is a mess, your to-do list is undone, and you may be wishing you were anywhere else but where you are, you have a choice – to greet your children’s boundless energy with joy, and let it fill you – pushing out the frustration… or to let the frustration consume you, and spill over on to your children.

    How you react – or not react – is always up to you.

    To show love and tolerance and patience – to choose (and in choosing, teach) happiness and peace is never the wrong course of action.

    Sylvia@MaMammaliaWell said! If only it were as easy as choosing, say, a flavor of ice-cream. I think many people get stuck in their habits without noticing the choices available. But it's easier to get un-stuck when you realize that it really IS a choice. We are free...even from ourselves!

    kelly @kellynaturally@Sylvia - so true... and wouldn't it be wonderful if it could be that easy? I think with patience, practice, and a heavy dose of self--love & forgiveness, we can get to that point... or nearly so! :)
