Pressure reigning down on me.........

This blog entry should be read will listening to David Bowie & Queen performing Under Pressure.

So I think the great universe out there was trying to remind me about choices last night. It seemed like both the TV world & the real world intersected on that one topic last night. Here are some examples:

o On Gossip Girl last night the choices were between family, significant others, hedonism, money and even life. I know a normal Gossip Girl but since this time I didn’t approve of all there choices it hit home.
o Dancing with the stars……..the soundtrack from this post was provided by one of the couples as they danced to it. That show is all about choices. Who will not only dance the best by choosing the best routine while being interesting enough for people to call in but also balancing their outside DWTS life so they have enough time to practice.
o Speaking of practice in real life it is about the budget….not mine but the states/county/country. Some of the budget choices that Wake County is making are affecting services and some of those reduced services are hitting in the completely wrong areas in my mind. So someone who practiced and made the effort is going to be hurt.
o Another real life example was a choice that someone made not to go to the doctor. It can seem like a little thing but once this person was down that path they couldn’t seem to get off of it in time which lead to a horrible outcome.

So you my non-reader won’t know about all of situations above because even though you are a non-reader I don’t want to put spoilers in my entry or share things that aren’t mine to share. Even with that though let me tell you what came to mind in all of these situations. The choices we make affect not only affect our lives but also those we love. We all know this and we think in our minds that we will know how everyone will react. We tell ourselves that we are making the choice because it will be easier for them or because it will make us feel better/good. Well let me say this……that is not true. We don’t know how others will react and everything we do affects other people. Now we can’t live our lives for other people but we do need to think about those that we love.

So my non-readers out there know that I am thinking about you and although I am not going to live my life for you I am going to think about how what I do affects you. I hope that you my non-reader will do the same because although I know you love me sometimes it is the little things that happen that affect me.
