The Long View...

image:beautifulfreepictures.com

This picture brought to mind the question of how I choose to make choices and decisions in my life. I am realizing more and more the importance of thinking about the long term...our future generations! That sounds "heady" yet at the same time.. each choice I make "makes the future"!

Think of our children facing our current debt as a nation! Heavy debt can mean heavy burden..! So.. what choices can I make now that will be more of a benefit to our future generations?

Our Indian sisters and brothers speak of making decisions with the next 7 generations in mind!!

Some of our choices are very short term.. yet even then..they can have long term impact.. like disposing of trash out the window as we drive ...!

Thank you Family for reminding me to consider my decisions more carefully as to their affect on all beings for the future as well as the present!!
