When you are living in your eighth decade, most of us pick up a few very important points along the way, some of us sooner and the rest later. I’m not quite certain of the exact time I figured this one out, but the most important lesson in life is the fact that life is about choices. Every single thing we do in life is about making choices. There are damn few absolutes in life, but making choices is one of them. What one chooses can be changed. The fact that choices are required is an absolute. Everything is a choice and even not making a choice is a choice.
