Well… I have been having a really good time in Texas.
I really like the program. The faculty is WONDERFUL! The residents are REALLY nice! The clinic is well set up with a diverse patient population. I’m even feeling smart!
The problem is I don’t know how to make the final decision about whether or not to move. On one hand… I would be very happy in the program… my god-daughters are here.. I have a couple other friends here. On the other hand… my family is in Chicago… I am quite happy in my relationship with Coach… I have a church home in Chicago… I have not saved the kind of money I want to have before moving.
Most people say.. “Do what is best for you”. But really, what does that mean? Is my career more important than my loved ones? I have never been one to draw out the pros and cons because I can always skew the list to reflect what I want to do. I know that I can’t discuss this with Coach because he worries about being a factor in my decision. I just don’t know how to weigh what will make me happy. Most of my decisions have been last minute “gut decisions”. College. Medical School. Everything!
Help me out here… what’s your process for decision making???
Prayer is one of my processes for decision making. I also just think about what I could live with and if I would have any regrets for the decision that make and if I have regrets either way then which one could I live with. Good luck to you.

Thanks Jelli! I’m praying on this (as I do about everything) but the hardest thing is to not interfere!

That is true sometime we got to let go a let God handle, lead, guide us to where he wants us to be. I have that you will make right decision. To bad you didn’t come to Houston. I could have showed around the city.

First time at your spot! (found you via Diva in Demand) Love the title of your blog “postcards from insanity”
re: decision making - I usually ask for guidance and the answers (or revelations or nudges) usually come to me in my dreams…
I guess that’s just the god/goddess within…
Take care, and the answers will come.

Prayer is always a good start. I also stop and consider my ultimate goal in life and the effect the decision will have on my journey of getting there. Alot of times the choices won’t completely deter you, but they will always take different routes.
