Amazing

Remember those children's puzzle books with the little mazes. It was usually marked "Enter Here." You took your pencil and started following the path until you found the exit. The beginner puzzles were mapped out very clearly with very few wrong turns. As an adult you could easily scan the whole picture and see exactly how to proceed. The more advanced puzzles were very intricate with many wrong turns and dead ends. It's an interesting thought. You can see how you start off and see where you are supposed to end, but it's all that stuff in the middle that can mess you up.

Emily and I were talking. Nothing strange there. We always talk. In naming this watercolor below we differed on the phrasing of the last thought. I initially wrote "It's how you Choose." Emily said "It's what you Choose."

But so many other combinations also ring true. Try these....
It's why you Choose.
It's because you Choose.
It's when you Choose.
It's where you Choose.
It's who you Choose.
It's how much you Choose.

Well, you get the idea. I'm sure you can figure out a few other words that would work for you. The key working word here is still "Choose." The power is in that word. We all may not be able to choose whether we win or lose as we navigate this maze of our lives, but how we chose to react to it. I still choose "how" and I added "what" for Emily because it made me think. Thank you Emily.
