Wow! That’s a hard question to ask during the Winter Break. I’ve certainly had many turning points in my life. I guess, as I’m typing this, I think one of the hardest decisions at the time, but now it doesn’t seem like it was, deciding to raise my baby instead of putting him up for adoption. My life is so much better because I chose to raise him as a single parent for the first five and a half years.
Sticky note tuesday–very refreshing!
I think any time I have a decision and am “stuck” it’s a question of fear over faith. And I acknowledge that fear, and then hopefully work through it. When I don’t work through it, I remain stuck, then mire through my lesson and take that with me as I move forward. That would be how I logically face it. However, in my life, I realize when faced with a decision I usually just “know” the answer and try to go with my original intuition. I’m much more of an intuitive “jumper” than a plan otu the details. For me, I think it’s part of remaining open. So that when I am stuck, I know it’s due to reluctance on my part, and it requires examining.
Joy – I can’t agree more. Being stuck and remaining stuck is rooted in fear. I remember how hard it was to let my dead first marriage go. It turned out to be the best and hardest decision I made.
I think the hardest decision I ever made was to leave a relationship where I was in love but it was destroying me. After that, I found my husband and had 3 beautiful little boys.
Love your sticky notes and the thoughts behind them! You can’t get to be my age without have made some decisions that are hard. One of my hardest was to work through a very rough patch in our marriage….best thing I ever did. We just celebrated our 42nd anniversary and are best, best friends. Definitely worth the time and effort!
At 65, I’ve made a lot of tough decisions in my life; getting a divorce from a 12-year marriage may have been the toughest. I just celebrated 26 years of a much happier marriage a few months ago, so it definitely was the righ decision!
Eva – like you, divorcing my first husband after 19 years was one HARD decision! I can’t wait to be like you and say “I just celebrated 26 years…” Hubs and I just celebrated three years and I’ve never been more at peace and happiness than I am with him!

Hi Peggy!
Love the sticky notes! I had a past chock full of ghastly stuff – I am the survivor of those decisions and alas, look for no more. They may come but I am a different person now, and hopefully will respond in kind – differently. Giving up resistance to what is has made a huge change and so has passing 60.
Sending love, hugs, and best wishes for everything joyous in 2010!

Hi Corrie – what an incredibly tough decision to make – but one that worked out for you and your son all the better!

Very thought-provoking post-its.

Congratulations on 42 years Diantha! That is so so so awesome!
Oh, Robert Downey, Jr. Still trying to make up his mind, isn’t he?
He made up his mind to stay sober – that was the decision that was hard for him to make. Glad he did…I’m a big fan of his!

Isn’t that the truth – “giving up the resistance to what is…” I know that’s made a HUGE difference in my life!
