Weighing The Options


Weighing The Options

Okay, so we have rounded the corner of a New Year!
The year stands like a blank canvas just waiting to come to life day by day.
Some of the unwritten pages will be filled with......decisions and choices that I have made in the past and are still ‘in the works’ so to speak.
For instance, many years ago I made the deliberate choice to .....not work at a money paying job.
I wanted to be involved in my husband and children’s life, my community,
and my church. For me....it has proven to be a wise choice.
I fully realize that my decision to be a .....career wife and mother is not a popular one today....and is not an option for some women.
At times I have questioned my own judgment in this matter.....usually when my budget outgo.....exceeded my income.
My simple belief of life was that I had rather invest my energy completely....in my family.
God, family, country....Sounds corny doesn’t it?
Just call me old-fashioned if you will.....as my family showers me with love and the things that money can not buy.
My canvas this year will start with our family taking a trip next week to Parris Island, S.C. where our son, Chuck, and his family will meet us for their son.....Papito ’s (Carlos III) Marine Boot Camp Graduation.
Schedules have been changed by everyone in order for this happening to be attended by all family members.
I, also, have plans this year with Carla, Papito’s sister to do a skydive with her. I’ve promised her that when she turned 18 I would do a tandem jump along with her and Chad like we did last year. We are taking bets on whether Carla will ‘chicken out’ at the last minute. Don’t think so!
So as I weigh my options of what I want to paint on my canvas of life for 2003....I can not reiterate enough that.....It Is A Good Life and that 2003 will be one of the BEST.
May it be for YOU as well!!!
