decisions

I woke up today with a feeling of dread. I woke up feeling as if I shouldn't be happy for some reason. My mind groggy from sleep, I forced my eyes open and tried to remember why. Ah, yes I received a late night call from a family member in distress. They are trying to decide on a huge life decision and they became overwhelmed last night and called me. Not for advice I'm sure, just to hear a familiar voice on the other end, listening. I did the right thing, I listened. I listened through the tears as her hurt poured out in words through the telephone line. I didn't offer much advice other than, "You have to make a decision that you can live everyday of your life with". It sounds a lot easier to say than to do. I know this first hand.
