6/16/2004: Believe me when I say...

...that the hardest decisions have the biggest possibility of turning out to best decisions you will ever have to make. I speak from experience, so far counting 2 difficult decisions to be the best I've ever made. Of course when you are at the point when you have to make the decision it is not readily apparent that they will be your best, or which choice is most favorable. But they will turn out to be. That is if you have your heart in the right place when you put your finger to your choice. It takes a leap of faith to trust yourself to make the right choice. The difficult decisions are the most life-altering, sometimes the most heartbreaking, yet ultimately the most rewarding. But it takes a while before they reveal themselves to be perfect choices. There will just be that one day when you are walking along the street or ironing your clothes or brushing your teeth that it will suddenly occur to you, "I was right to make that choice." And then you heave a sigh of relief.
