Have you ever made a really awful decision? I mean REALLY AWFUL?
I'm not talking about marrying the wrong guy (I almost did that), or wearing one of those "in style" outfits that you really thought you could pull off (done that), or saying hateful things to your mother (sad to say - I've done this too).
What I'm talking about is a little different. The aforementioned quandaries are really considered to be choices, in my opinion. Not so much decisions. With choices, there's an obvious good and bad. Not so much with decisions. Those are the tricky ones.
So I made a decision. And in making that decision I was, in my opinion, choosing between two goods. (Sometimes, in decision making it gets really yucky because you have to choose between two bads.) I made a bad decision. This decision led to a brief rendezvous with an establish that is good, just not good for me.
The light at at the end of the tunnel is this: even when we make bad choices or decisions - good inevitably comes from it. Without you even trying. Funny how that works.

yes yes, You are so wise my dear Beth. I totally agree with you. Decisions are always lurking at our door. I do agree that good always comes of it in the end, it may take a few days, months or years but you will see that your final "decision" wasn't half bad because it made you who you are today. great thought!
