grateful I see the apparent effects of choice

How much do I choose my life? Who knows, but how I handle that question does affect my life. And I keep forgetting that. If I choose to eat a coffee cake, the outcome and path of my life are different than if I drink raw juice instead. Total choice and total predetermination both seem naíve and short-sighted. I do see when I choose differently than what I intend for myself, it takes the wind out of my sails. that is worth taking notice of. I’m grateful I can see that. Awake enough to see that. That puts a little wind back in my sails.
