Practicality wins out 99.9% of the time.
Do you spare no expenses?
I'd say all of the above, at one time or another. In my aging process as Crone, I have become much more cautious. Too much experience and living makes me verrrry careful. Seen and done enough to see consequences and how they affect not only me, but those I love. And learned from others' as well. I'm not as open and trusting of others, or myself. I have worked on trusting my intuition but I also know I am susceptible to emotional manipulation by others as well as myself. And everyone is good at rationalization, to make pieces fit the way we want them to. Me included. But such forced fits always unravel in the end, I've found. I've grown a bit cynical, too. The hard part is not drumming magical beautiful experiences in life out my spirit. As my body stiffens and weakens, my sense of dancing with life, being open to it, does, too. :(

My Adventures
One thing I've learned ... it's impossible to please everyone with a single decision. We can't please everyone at the same time, but in the long run they'll each benefit when they know the decision has the right intention.

I agree.

Strange that you say that, Gypsy, because I have actually had this exact thought of you after reading some of your entries...."this is someone who has learned to dance through life!"
:-)

I did before I had 2 in college! now much more conservative. Well, they are my heart, so still sparing no expenses, lol...

use heart and logic in decisions.

again, half heart, half logic.

Take risks that won't harm anyone else at times.
"Never regret anything you have done with a sincere affection; nothing is lost that is born of the heart." -- Basil Rathbone
I've had a few regrets that were so painful I promised myself I'd never put myself through those experiences ever again. Regret doesn't achieve much. It just prolongs pain. But in hindsight I'd rather regret having tried than not trying at all.
