Yesterday, at the end of a day when I had previously chosen not to take photos, I saw this:
It was my choice to turn my car around and choose that image for today’s post.
“Your choice” triggered lots of associations, including the following (which I choose to share).
I believe it is my choice, every day, to choose:
- kindness towards others,
- kindness towards myself,
- the people in my life,
- what words I use,
- the music I hear,
- the ways I heal,
- the support I give,
- the food I eat,
- appreciation for the present moment,
- life,
- hope,
- reality,
- acceptance,
- forgiveness,
- joy whenever possible,
- my post titles, and
- blogging every day.
After choosing “Your Choice” for today’s image, I also choose these photos:
Now, it’s your choice what choice to choose next.
It’s my choice to thank those who give us room to choose, lights in the darkness, and you — of course! — for your choice to visit here, today.
The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally 
You’re so much more ambitious than I am. For $20 I’d have just taken a wreath!
Your choice sounds good to me!
Such noble choices on your list. Not a surprise for us, Ann. ❤️ 💛 💙 💜
This is a choice comment, as usual, Van.
I try to make the choice not to think about choices because I get so easily muddled. When there are too many choices available it can be paralyzing or simply frustrating as anyone who’s ever been to a large grocery store and just tried to find plain canned tomatoes–with no onion, bell pepper, Italian seasonings, olive oil infusion, reduced salt, added salt, or chocolate sprinkles–knows.
I am glad I do make a regular choice to come here.
I get muddled about choices, too, and I often think about that scene from “Moscow on Hudson” where Robin Williams’s character has a breakdown in the aisles of a supermarket. I am very glad about the choices you make in the Blogosphere, Chris.
Sooo… I chose to read your post and I did well. Beautiful 🙂
I’m so glad you chose to leave this beautiful comment!
This is a good day to think about choice. Thank you for pointing out that I have more choices than I sometimes think I have.
As always, I am grateful when your choices include paying a visit to this blog.
I choose to stay positive even though things seem bleak sometimes:-)
Impressive choice!
What can I choose for $20?….
I choose to come here and it free! The best choice of all 🌞
The best things in life are free, Val!
Wonderful list of wise choices we could all make on a daily basis:)
I’m grateful about your choice to comment so kindly!
My pleasure, Ann:)
I’m not sure what I’m looking at, with those photos of lights, even after clicking on each photo individually. Is one of them a turkey made of lights? Did you choose to post them because it is December? Do you choose to look at light instead of darkness? (But the darkness does play a supporting role with the lights, quite beautifully.) Is there a cat somewhere in the dark, or did you choose to make Dec 1 a cat-free day at The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally?
I honestly don’t know a lot of details about those lights. I realized I hadn’t taken any photos throughout the day and I wanted to capture some of the lights around here. Every year, I continue to be entranced by those colored lights that appear everywhere. Thanks for making a second appearance here, Maureen! (And the cats are sure to make appearances, soon.)
I chose to read this post at the end of a crazy long work day, and I’m glad you chose to write it!
I appreciate your choices, Sunny!
I think we sometimes take our ability to choose for granted Ann. It’s good to remember how fortunate we are. ❤
Diana xo
I choose to remember how fortunate I am to know you here, Diana!
Ditto Kiddo!
Life is all about choices – eh?
Today – I choose to drop you a big ol {HUG} 😀
What a great choice, RoSy! I choose to hug you back.
YAY!
My choice is that you’re my favorite blogger Ann.❤️
My choice is not to dream about Penny Dreadful again!
I am not Penny Dreadful Oscar, I’m Penny Rogers. I don’t know how those cats can think like that!
You make such interesting and creative choices, Maria!
Yours is a good list of choices. ‘Your choice’, is, however, a phrase I have heard used negatively, such as when someone struggles with the consequences of a disproved choice. Then it means ‘serves you right’. That, unfortunately is what ‘your choice’ brought to mind.
I have never heard anybody choose to use “your choice” negatively, Derrick. I guess it’s our choice how to use words. I appreciate, as always, your choice to read my posts and comment about them.
I choose to appreciate this list and hope to incorporate it into my existence. 🙂
Love your choices, Colleen!
this made me think of all the excuses we give for what we do and the reality is we had a choice. we always do have a choice to either do something or not to do it…
And I’m glad you made the choice to comment here. Many thanks.
your welcome
