When I first made the the decision to start this daily blog on January 1, 2013, I wrote about making decisions in my “About” page.

Ten years later, I’m more comfortable about making decisions and my process for doing so.
Every morning, I need to make many decisions about how to create my latest blog post. What decisions do you see in my images for today?

Today, I’m going to make some decisions about (1) my vacation starting a week from today, (2) how to add music to the song lyrics I shared here yesterday, and (3) what YouTube video to include in this post.
What decisions are you making, here and now?
Thanks to all who help me make decisions, including YOU.
looks like you made a decision to live a great story, what can be better than that?
Love the decisions you make, beth.
I have been enjoying your blog for 10 years and I don’t have any difficulty making my mind up about that!
I really enjoy your decisions, Maureen!
I make similar decisions to yours, in that I decide what to put on my website. I have tabs for Home, Prose, Poetry, Politics, and Peregrinations. When I started the site, I posted every weekday, a tab a day. No problem. A few years later, when I had covered most of my favorite topics, I cut down to one a week. Now, nearing my dotage (doesn’t seem to be coming on as fast as I thought it would – or is it?), I am just doing one when I have the material for it. Still in order – my latest on my Home tab. Next one will be a book review, for Prose. And I know just the books to write about this time.
Thanks for sharing all those decisions here, Barbara.
I can really become weary of making decisions. It feels like my “input barometer” is set on max and there’s too much information to wade through. I think the more decisions we make the more critical it is to have an afternoon nap. 🙂
I appreciate all your decisions, Debra!
While trying to decide what I felt nostalgic for it seemed strange that what came to mind is something from my late twenties: Mary Schmich’s “Wear Sunscreen” essay that was at one point attributed to Kurt Vonnegut. She said she wasn’t nearly as good a writer as Vonnegut. I sent her an email with the subject “Not Related To Kurt Vonnegut”. Then I apologized and said I wanted her to know that what mattered was she wrote something good and that she should be proud. She wrote back, “The ruse worked. Thank you for your kindness.”
I miss email still being a novelty that could create moments like that.
I cherish your decisions, Chris.
I’m nostalgic for the smell of ink and the depth of news from my community being delivered to my doorstep every morning, Ann.
People have made many decisions beyond our control, my friend.
