What was Lucy Westenra doing in Ikea anyway, where every choice is the wrong one? (Apologies to Ikea). Kathe, Diddums! You can't go back... but you can't stop kicking yourself either. Have a drink and change the subject. Double scotch?
So so so true!! The effects of our decisions sure last for a lifetime!! VERY WELL written, my friend... succinct and simply perfect! A WOW take on the mag!
I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
Sorry - I think that comment went awry! Spooky and haunting itself, was what I was trying to say.
ReplyDelete(: very true. and it doesn't seem to matter whether we made the right choice or not. i mean, how to know for sure.
ReplyDeleteChoices are never easy and hopefully less will haunt you more will ease your way.
