Decisions, Decisions

Once more I am thinking about decisions I make in my life. Some are easy, some are more difficult. Fortunately, I haven't had to make any life-altering decisions recently. The big decision I have been working on is buying a piano. I've gradually decided to go digital instead of acoustic. I'm looking at comparable models in Yamaha and Kawai. I'm thinking that the Yamaha has more capability for working on pieces thant he Kawai. On the Kawai, I slightly prefer the quality of sound and like feeling the vibrations of the music when I press the pedals. I'm swaying toward the Yamaha because of the more advanced programs available for practice. Monday I'll probably go ahead and buy the Yamaha. The dealer said I could always exchange it if I decide I want a different one. Decisions that are easy to undo aren't as scary. I was impressed that Larry came along to look at the DP's with me today. He doesn't know acoustic pianos, but can relate to the DP's as fun computers.

Another decision I made today was a leap of faith. I needed to have my hair done. I had thought that I'd ask around for recommendations. That didn't get me very far, so I called a salon that is part of a chain and made an appointment. I figured that hair always grows back and the decision I made was not something I'd have to live with that long. I was pleasantly surprised! The woman who gave me a perm (Denise at Great Clips) was delightful and really seemed to know what she was doing. She also was in demand--I noticed that several people came in to ask her to cut their hair. Sometimes things just work out.

The last decision I had to make was about attending a party tonight or not. Sister Penny arrived for a visit of 4 nights. Friend Cherie had invited us all to go to a party with her near her house. We had accepted the invitation earlier. Penny was to tired to go, Larry was not energetic. What to do? Larry and I ended up going and had a very nice time. We enjoyed catching up with Cherie and meeting some of her friends, had a great meal, and Penny got to rest while we were gone.

By the end of the day, my decisions had all been resolved in a good way. I will get out my camera and post more photos next entry.
