Three Little Decisions

Life is full of decisions-little choices we rarely think about until something significant happens and shakes up the tedium of our day-to-day life. Some of these significant circumstances arrive not on a gentle breeze, which nudges us kindly along, but roars in like an arctic blast and blows us to the ground.

Several years ago, a strong blast hit my life; it knocked me sideways and landed me in a dark place. After too many days sitting in a pit of indignation and bitterness, it became clear: something had to change.

This was not how I wanted to live my life. Some kind of change was needed, but I felt uncertain how to proceed until a friend gave me a small gift that altered my outlook and helped me out of my pit.
