Wow! These are the very words that pretty much run in a loop inside my head more days than not. How much lovelier they read as a poem
Exactly Barbara, it takes all the tension out of deciding
I ‘hear’ you reciting this while jumping rocks in a stream!
I hope you’re all reading Charles’s poem it’s way better than mine
Clever poem. But, I did read and like Charle’s poem of choosing heart over mind when making a decision. My life work – loving with my mind and thinking with my heart. Left a message on his site.
It was lovely, I do think some business decisions need the mind though or at least someone else’s lol.
I agree, but I believe Charles is talking about the bigger picture. Tough love, for example, is loving with you mind and thinking what is best with your heart, as painful as that might be. Have to be careful, this is a subject close to my heart and I could talk forever, LOL!
Thats my kind of poem!
I love that name Emerald Pie, it’s unforgettable and would make for a great kids poem
I like your poem, Catherine. And I read and like Charles’ poem, too.
When I am worrying, I think I will just start reciting your poem so I can get to yes faster!
The Procrastination buster lol.
In Sunday school, my son learned a song with the words, “there’s a right and wrong to every question…” It almost made me laugh. I right and wrong to EVERY question. Surely there’s some wiggle room in the flavor of gum you choose.
I like that a lot, Hannah. Takes all the pressure off.
Make that, “A right and wrong to EVERY question?” Oops, I did it wrong.
I don’t know…
Off to check out the poem
You jokester you
