I will think...about what truly matters to me and what kind of end result I want. I will ignore what others, from the media to big business to my next door neighbor, tell me to think.
I will read...as much as I can get my eyes on. Until I'm sick of reading and confused by the contradictions.
I will think...again. Have my thoughts changed because of my research, or am I still clear about my ideas and ideals?
I will decide...on my own -- which food is most nutritious for my family, and which candidates' views most closely match my own. I will decide how I spend my money and my free time, and how I will teach my child.. If I bandwagon, it will be because I'm truly convicted, not just because I want to fit in.
I will do all of these things with my head, and then...
I will act...with my heart.

These thoughts were just rattling around my brain and needed a place to land. They aren't in regard to specific events or decisions I am facing; this is just what happens in my head when I'm doing housework and tending the garden.
