However, there is a teensy thing bothering me. I didn't accomplish either of the goals I set for myself. I didn't have tons of them...just 2:
1. To own my home free and clear. Well, the economy kind of took a toll on that goal. That's okay. Stuff happens.
2. To write a book (something I've been working on on and off of-well...mostly off- for the past 4 years) .
Here's where my dilemma comes to play: I have very limited spare time, so do I work on something that's been a dream of mine, even when I know that the chances of getting published are slim to none. Or, do I do something that I like (photography) that doesn't pay all that much (but a little is better than nothing!) and put aside writing the book.
You see, I don't have much time to decide because once baby #3 arrives, I doubt I'll have any spare time for writing, but before baby arrives (now) is the season for family pictures. Am I wasting my precious spare time by doing something that makes me happy...even if it doesn't bring in money?

So very many decisions in our lives. In the past we have one path...the path we took. The future holds a vast number of paths to choose from. The trick is to pick the path that once it becomes your past you will have no regrets.
I am a firm believer that life should be fun. Come to find out that not everyone holds this viewpoint. On the same note..beneifits are also important. Weighing the benefits and the dream is difficult. Too bad others can't tell us which path will make us the most happy.
