Dooley Noted: 9/12/17
My husband tells me, almost every day, that the root of all choices boils down to two: love or fear.
Early last night, I chose fear.
And it took me away from my optimistic self.
It took me down a path I had paved long ago.
And it hurt me again, just as it hurt me in the past.
I can’t un-pave that well-known pathway.
But I went to bed actively choosing love.
And I felt myself weep for not choosing it the first time.
My sleep was raw and disturbed, as my mind struggled between love and fear.
Love won – and now I see this pathway is a much newer pathway.
I have to work it many more times.
In my 20/20 hindsight, I see Jonathan is right again, as he often is.
Had I worked last night much quicker to choose love, I would have arrived quicker to where I am right now.
Two choices: love or fear.
And they are always our call.
