Thinking....

I do A LOT of thinking, I over think ALL the time... I grapple and I do the whole pro/con list(s) and in the end I usually have picked apart whatever decision topic I am trying to figure out. Sometimes you just have to listen to your gut... and realize that not every question has an easy solution. I am *trying* to do what is best for me .... I guess only time will tell.

From the Foundation Web site today:
“I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It's seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It's seeing what other people don't see. And pursuing that vision.”
—Howard Schultz

YaY!

Why my dad is the BEST:

1- he only wants the best for his family, and you always know it

2- he is smart as a "whip" ;)

3- he LOVES Mr. Big & me, too

4- he woke me up everyday every year for who knows how long with a song...and on my bday a bagel ;)

5- he is the best man I know
