This picture is taped to the wall of my office. I am a large fan of good quality wine, and I am not fussy, red, white or sparkling...bring it on I say.
What truly appeals to me is the second word...options...it is one of my favourite words, not because it sounds funny but the doors that open with those seven letters....options...
There are many things that I take for granted on a daily basis...but with some navel gazing...I have discovered lint.... and options....they are laying out in front of us everyday. We take them and we deal with the consequences without thinking. Sadly it is only when we take the 'wrong' option that we stop for a moment, analyse and berate....and then look for who is responsible... I hate the word wrong and should.
There are no wrong options...unless there is avocado on the sanger...and should is a word that should be banned. The moment you tell me I should be doing something, I instantly want to do the opposite...although I still would not get avocado on my sandwich. "You should study something useful"...this lead to me studying education, business and law...and guess what, I am not a teacher, lawyer or business woman..."You should wear flat shoes"....we need not discuss this horrifying statement...to me, should limits my options and I do not like having my options limited...
Anyway...back to options...I have begun to love them...shall I have cereal or toast, watch cartoons or the news...because even these little decisions make a difference, I had just ignored them previously. Little options ripple into larger options which have scary and dazzling consequences.
Now that I have the time to navel gaze I am thinking...do I dare to break through fear and be bold and brave...
Now back to the wine....please send to me in copious amounts...or even better come and sit on my verandah and drink it with me....this is a great option
