I am proud of my children.  As with all of us, some are better at consistently making good decisions.  Some make a poor decision now and they that causes a little consternation.  As I look at each of then I also realize that I was their age once and on occasion made the poor decision now and then.  Of course, that is my perspective.  I am sure my father had his perspective on my ability to make decisions.      <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Palmer_Ken-1955ish-v1.02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Palmer_Ken-1955ish-v1.02-296x430.jpg\" alt=\"Palmer_Ken-1955ish-v1.02\" width=\"296\" height=\"430\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Palmer_Ken-1955ish-v1.02-296x430.jpg 296w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Palmer_Ken-1955ish-v1.02-707x1024.jpg 707w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Palmer_Ken-1955ish-v1.02-103x150.jpg 103w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Palmer_Ken-1955ish-v1.02.jpg 1214w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\" \/><\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>Of course the older we get we usually make better decisions.  And some of our decisions are made the way they are because of life experience of just because we are tired of doing things we have always had to do, like shaving every day.  Whatever our desires in life are, we will not be able to make it without making decisions.
