Decisions....Decisions

So many things have happened already this week and today is only Thursday. That means there is still officially a few more days left in the week and I am exhausted. I thought that when I moved to NWA and started my doc program that I would be able to settle in for at least a couple of years. The last few years of my life have been non-stop transition. From Houston to College Station (for what seemed very brief even though I was there a couple of years) and now Arkansas. In the last couple of months, but the last few weeks especially, I have realized that my transitioning is far from over and now I am forced to make some other big decisions.

So many questions, several options (which can be considered a good thing) and some major decisions to make in what seems like a very short period of time. Me being the somewhat indecisive heavy over-analyzer that I am.....this is going to be an arduous task!

Usually when faced with decisions to be made I go straight to the people who know me best (the parentals, big bro, and some really special friends) and want the best for me and pick their brains for suggestions and advice. This time I think I will start with a different approach (see there I go thinking again; it just doesn't stop). I will sit down and write (yes literally write) out my options. I will do the whole, option/pro/con thing and come up with a two main options to choose from. Then I will sit down with the fam and friends and get their feedback.

Ok...so I cheated a little because I did already talk to one friend about it (thanks MDM) but in my defense, it was just kind of boggling my brain at the moment and I had to say something to someone :-)
The most important thing to me about this next big decision (and possible move, yes I said it...move) is that I want to consider myself first. Before I even begin to think about how my decision will affect my family, friends, and well you know who you are... I will have to be sure that I am considering myself and making the best decision for me. That is one thing that I do not do very often when it comes to decision-making big or small and this simply has to change.

What I need to focus on is....me. This decision will have a great impact on my future both near and distant and I need to be sure that in the end I will be taken care of!
