Life of Wry

This was my drink at lunch today.  Half carrot and half orange.  Decided to take a picture of it because it was so.. delectable and awesome.  In searching for meaning in this photo, because that’s what I do–take pictures of things, then think of something to say about them–I came up with this: it’s about choices.

So I thought about a few….

A California BLT or an L Street Salad, hold the dressing.

Starting a new novel or starting a new crossword.

Wanting what’s easy or working at what’s hard.

Wanting what’s good or wanting what’s best.

Going to Nepal or being a baseball mom.

Taking the risk or doing what’s familiar.

Doing it all or saying it’s good enough.

Letting it go or standing on principle.

Being impulsive or being thoughtful.

Getting a kitten or keeping a friend.

Staying up late or getting up early.

Getting it done or getting it right.

Moving on or never forgetting.

Facebook or Twitter.

Long nails or short.

Contacts or glasses.

Mishka’s or Peet’s.

Sunscreen or hat.

Music or silence.

Basket or bowl.

Flannel or silk.

Strong or thin.

Walk or drive.

Red or white.

Email or call.

Text or call.

PG or R.

Sometimes the choice is clear. Sometimes there is no choice.  Sometimes combining them makes a nice drink.
