shared decisions
It's sort of a different way of looking at things. I'm so used to just doing what I want to or need to without really consulting anyone about it. This summer will mark five years since I've been on my own and for many years before that I had to make most of the decisions. I used to always ask for opinions or suggestions and didn't really get any so I quit asking. Tonight we were talking and I mentioned getting something for a friend that just had a baby. Steve asked if we could talk about that and decide together when he came back. Hmmm. Sure. It really is a major adjustment on my part to share the decisions. Not a bad one. Actually a welcomed one. Just one that takes a a lot of getting used to.
