Making

Making things better.  Making things worse.  Making things up.  Making, generally.  Making things takes effort.  It may be conscious or subconscious, but it is always there.  Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's hard.  Almost always, it involves making decisions.  Then again, the argument can be made of whether or not those are conscious or not themselves.

Regardless, sometimes things just seem to get worse.  But they don't just get there.  They're brought there by something.  That something being decisions.  It's a decision whether or not one complains.  It's a definite decision if one says something stupid, careless, worthless.  Or, one can go the other way, and say something conscientious, intelligent, caring.

Altogether too often, we seem to forget that this is a decision that can be made.  One word can determine whether or not the day goes well or poorly.  It affects not only the person making the decision but also the people around them.  I made some unfortunate decisions today in that respect.  But that's alright.  It happens.  I've been working to fix it.  That's what matters in the end.  I hope.
