Ripples in a pool - Tenth Ring

Lord be Leaping...  Reverb is in the House! (that is what I'm told they say at parties as I apparently don't go to any).

Prompt #10
December 10 – Wisdom Wisdom. What was the wisest decision you made this year, and how did it play out?


I once heard a story about a reporter who asked a Chinese scholar about his thoughts on the impact of the French Revolution . He looked back at the reporter and said simply. "It has been only two hundred years. Too soon to tell.". If one believe that life is Tapestry (as Picard was taught by Q in its unique sort of way), then the decisions that one makes ripple out far and wide, some have impacts, some don't. Some are wise and some are foolish only at the end of the road looking back which isn't really a fair test of the decision made at the time (in the heat of the moment). So reflecting on this year, there have been many choices that will hopefully come out wise, but I honestly believe it is too soon to tell. 


I don't want to give the sense that I'm coping out, but if the question had been what was the wisest decision I made in 2000 I believe with some careful thought I could answer that one.

  1. No you copped out. Unless you update with what you believe was your wisest decision of 2000. Just saying.
