Decisions

So... there comes a point when a decision just has to be made.  Whether that decision is what's for lunch or should be move here or here?  Lunch is easy.  Moving not so much.  I think major decisions are very simple when you are single, once there are two of you to make the decisions it complicates things to the nth degree.  As a single woman, I took two jobs, bought a house, moved three times, and then I got married. Now I've left two jobs, moved zero times but am living with my mother-in-law (who is wonderful) but holey moley now that we have the chance to move my hubs and I just can't seem to come to terms with our current decision.  We've made it, I think... but neither one of us is too excited.  I got a job offer but he's not excited about the move.  He's got a job opportunity- not an offer- but I'm not excited about it because it puts us back in the same predictament we were in about a year and a half ago- which wasn't good.   So here we are... at a crossroads and feeling like we should take the trail that runs through both.

Change, Challenge and Cheap Seats

The things I think of writing about aren't necessarily awe-inspiring, enlightening or maybe even interesting to anyone other than myself.  But in the last few days I've had a lot of thinking time... I'm unemployed at the moment so that leaves a lot of open hours in my day.  Topics I've considered in this time cover a lot of ground:


Challenges - those things that we dream up or are very real parts in accomplishing big and small, long and short goals
Job Opportunity - I'm interested in a lot of things... I think that's why I'm hesitant to make a choice
New Ideas - Where does one start with a new path? One foot in front of the other... yeah...
Family - When family is involved everything gets complicated or easier depending on what you're doing.
Food - What's for lunch?
Prayer - My sisters... i just want to squeeze them... I'm older but not always wiser. How is it that a simple message from one of them just makes your day?
National Crisis - Someone just sold everything they own (the house, clothes, everything) to help out on the Gulf Coast without any idea of how they were going to help, but just knew that they were going to... now that's Faith.
Fear - the unknown of the next step and how to get there.
Spousal Relationships - I love that man, but some days... oi!
Friends - Where did they go?? At what point does it seem like the friend switch got turned off... you're close, you're connected, you're busy making dinner dates and then... you're hundreds of miles apart, FB is as connected as you get (maybe the occasional email) and your social calendar is growing an inch of dust on it.
Cheap Seats - what an excellent way to see your favorite event when you're out of funds... however, those not so cheap ones sometimes have a much better view.  I hope I get back there someday.

Life out on a limb... what a challenge.
