Life is about Choices


Life is about choices, and it is nice to know that even though I am in the Army, I can still make some of my own decisions and soak up as much life as I can (To the left is Saint Michaels Cathedral in Hamburg, Germany). Some things, of course, are completely out of my control and some of the decisions are made for me. But those times I do have control, I realize how great a feeling it is.

Nothing in particular spurred this realization, but everytime I get into a long training event (the last 2 months) or even a long prison sentence (West Point), the feeling you get when your cut loose is always a nice one and you begin to revel in all of the simple things- Good Food, Traveling, and making some of your own decisions in your free time. Life is good.
