Choices

'You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself 
any direction you choose.'
-- Dr. Seuss, Oh! The Places You'll Go!
Reminds me I can choose every day 
the kind of person I want to be.

I will sing!

-- From the amazing book of Habakkuk 3:17-19
Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, [though] the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls, Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation! The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!
