The Smashing Pumpkins were right all along...

Today is the greatest day I've ever known... Okay, so those were not then, nor are they now, earth shattering, shake you to the core lyrics. But there is definitely something to them. There are many decisions that we have to make in our lives. Most of them are really not that big of a deal. Like what to have for dinner, which of our 17 puffy vests to wear, or what to name our dogs (Really, they don't care. That whole thing is for us. Bear responds to "Kiddo" half the time). Yet some of them really are a big deal. Or are they? I think in all of the decisions I have made over the years, the ones that are the biggest deals seem to be, in the end, the easiest ones to make. Although I have also found that I never really know if I've made the wrong decision because so far, even if they were "wrong" they seemed to always work out in the end. Probably, our decisions are just what we make of them. So it stands to reason that we shouldn't spend so much time agonizing over them. Perhaps we should just enjoy the ones we've made that have gotten us to this point. Some day soon I'm sure I will have to make another one of those "life-altering" decisions, but fortunately, today is another day that I don't have to make one even as little as what to have for dinner. (Jon made that one for me... and he grilled it. Sweet.) Today is a day for enjoying the last big decision I made. I suppose today is the greatest day. Its the one I have. And as if to re-affirm that decision, 4 feet of snow fell on our little town this week. What could be better?

True, for some people deciding what to have for dinner is not a big decision. But for you my friend...sometimes it's a big decision ;) Good thing Jon is around to speed that process along.
