Things are not as good as they seem to be. I have a lot of decisions to make.

But, then again, they are probably not as bad as they seem either.
The nice thing about old age is one has so much experience to work off of and use..
When you make decisions, first figure, using the metaphor of a boat, if they are above the waterline or below.
Above the waterline, be daring! Below, be cautious.
If you’re a wagering person, think of it as a coin flip (50/50) for ten bucks or ten thousand. For ten bucks, be daring and if you win send me my share. For ten thousand, be afraid. Be very afraid.
For above the waterline, decide quickly and move on. Below, take all the time you need to be sure you are making the best decision possible.
Do you have a life raft handy?
