Doing the right thing...

Hey there folks--

Well we finally made it through another hump day and it is a short week-yeah!!! I have had such an interesting day and had some really deep thoughts about what choices we all make a lot of times when we have to decide, often in just a flash of a moment, to do the right thing or not. Recently, I had that decision to make and it was not an easy choice. It was definitely the right choice to make and not one that was really even a choice because the negative impact could have made an impact on my future...however, in the very moment I have gone back to a hundred times and wondered how things might have been different if I had made a different choice.

My dad was always so big on being "honest." It was his thing and likely still is. I think that "fairness" is more of my thing and when I see things being handled unfairly and people "cheating" or trying to get by doing less than every one else is doing then it really makes me angry. And someone always seems to be trying to find a way to get by doing something less than anyone else is doing while the rest of us go along doing our job or whatever.

It is also a weird thing that even after you have made a good and right decision you would think you would be left with all of these warm, fuzzy feelings, but that isn't always the case. Maybe that will come later. For now I guess I have to be left knowing that I made a good decision to help protect a group that can't always protect themselves. I made a decision to do what I knew I had to do....and I have always marched to a different drummer so why change things now? I can go to sleep tonight knowing that I tried to make a difference.

Fireworks on Friday. That means Koko will have to have her medication and lots of it. Maybe I should have a margarita. =-)

Everyone have fun and be safe!
