    Wow, that is so true. Some choice is great but too much is overwhelming and the backlash of a wrong choice in the face of so many options can bend your psyche.

    I had fun watching this video. Good reminder for us all.
    My personal motto has always been to keep things simple.
    I threw out my microwave, shut off the cellphone during
    my son’s soccer game, always liked Grande Prairie or Penticton
    better than Calgary for shopping, because of the fact that
    there are less choices for shopping. Simply put, today’s
    society is spoiled with too many choices, and they can’t
    think for themselves anymore or then they are undecided
    because of the paralysis effect. Sad but true, life was
    easier back then. People nowadays forget that less is more!
