Reassurance is an odd duck...

In life we tell ourselves things to remind ourselves that when we make a decision just before and even after that it is/was the right one, true? No backsies after, after all most of the time...

And without decisive people in this world no one would ever get anything done so not to decide on anything and nothing would change or get done, perhaps? Nothing would get done.

I would be lying if I said that every decision in my life when made was the right one, and even the law of averages tells us all of us that it is impossible to be that sure and right each and every time with each and every decision that we make and not be proven it might have been a mistake, true?

That said why do we as human beings, some of us, seem to always second guess our decisions in life after the fact?

Come on people I know that I am NOT alone here with this unsure way of thinking?

Mommy and Daddy, spouses, other relatives or even friends cannot always be the only ones to take total responsibility in all matters of living/life?

True as a married couple all important decisions should be a joint proposal and therefore decision…and that is how we all seem to feel the unified choice has been made and accepted by both parties; now that sounds like a legal contract?

But aren’t most important decisions?

Of course from engagement to marriage to buying a home to purchasing cars and furniture as well as having children all decisions in any relationship should be made jointly, and we have in most everything that we have done over these nearly forty-four years of wedded bliss we have been having a meeting of the minds or at least a definitive acceptance after all was said and done when one makes a choice on our behalf.

So although, I had difficulty sleeping last night due to our most recent purchase and know that if all else fails we could probably move into the van to live… KIDDING!

Maybe or maybe not.

Today after tossing and turning sort of night I crunched some of our own numbers again and realized that we are fine and will be for a very long time…Any-who at the length of time we kept our last car I probably won’t even be here when this one will be able to be traded in, Geez it should be paid off in half that time, I hope, today they give you a mini sort of a mortgage, only if you qualify and we did, of course…or we should hold onto it for another fourteen years! Kidding! Or maybe not… After all by then I would only be seventy- eight and Dad lived till seventy-nine, but Mom only seventy…Oops there I go again, stop that me! Too MAUDLIN!

I really, really, really could still be here and I definitely hope that I am!

On that note of a better sweet dreams sleeping night tonight, since there are no backsies anyway and all decisions are final and it is ours no matter how much my silly self worries about it and so it is a BIG waste of my time, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask all you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
