Every Breath You Take

Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.

Now that I’m older than 29 we come to the conclusion that we’ve made many big decisions in our life. We make decisions about where we live where to go to school, or what turntable we want to buy.

Minute by Minute

We made a giant decision to move to Seattle.

But right now we are in the middle of getting our house sold. There are certain things that require attention to detail and organization. There are snap decisions you make every minute as people are viewing your house.

There are little decisions that mean nothing and everything. Things like how you make the bed where you put the pillows, and even when you go to the bathroom, . We have a checklist of all things that have to be done if someone’s going to look at the house. I’m not a big checklist type of person. But I’m using that structure to make these decisions. Boring, repetitious tasks are not my forte.

I’m not a writer by nature. Usually when I write I venture off into many different directions, even when I’m answering these every day prompts.

Decision Day 2026

After abundant discussion, I decided to go to the doctors and poke around at alternatives for my attention deficit disorder. That’s not a perfect sentence because I did not go to the doctor with a solution. That was a decision in itself. It’s the first time in my life. I really like my doctor. We sat and talked and I decided to get some medication.

It has only been a few days, but generally, I like the results.

Here is a little antidote about coming to the decision to see the doctor.

    This is such an honest and grounded reflection—it really captures how life is shaped not just by the big, dramatic choices, but by the quiet, constant stream of small decisions we make every day.

    I especially like how you move between the larger shift—moving to Seattle—and the almost microscopic details of preparing a house for viewing. That contrast makes the piece feel real and relatable, because that’s exactly how life works: big transitions wrapped in tiny, repetitive moments.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
