Life goes on and on

I am continuing to work crazy hours with my midwifery practice.  As I work crazy hours, I think about retirement, I think about a different population, I think about moving and working somewhere else.  I think about the neat people I have met here.  I think about my desire to just take care of low risk Mom's who are healthy and who want to birth safely, but without lots of interventions.  I try to weigh the pros and cons of moving on versus staying where I am.  I have decided you cannot compare apples to oranges.  So the quandary continues.  Do I look elsewhere.  Do I stay here until I retire?  I'm not sure.  I don't know.  Worse yet, I don't know how to make the decision.

Isn't it just the worst thing... the inability to compare teh apples to the oranges. It is one of the most frustrating things about making decisions, I think. The ol' pros and cons list for all options is of course the general go to decision making helper. But, all the possibilities are probably playing in your head already! :) So, a need for pen to paper??? Sigh... I'm with ya. Always seems that something is on OUR horizon that we have to consider. SOME day, we'll settle into a place and get so comfortable that we will not want to move on to anything bigger or better - we'll want the BEST - that we are already living!! :)
