Cost of Living...
What is YOUR cost of living?
I bet you wish it were more,
but could it be any less?
I have a problem understand how we Americans justify consuming more than any other nation... ...including China and India whose populations far exceeds ours. We seem to demand comfort and ease... ...and are willing to ignore the consequences of our "needs".
...it often seems to me that what we want, and what we must... ...don't often meld well... ...we find ourselves in situations we are powerless to change and so we accept.
...we do what we do because we don't know any alternatives. The options are limited, specially for those raising children or attempting the family thing.

I have a problem...
I haven't a clue what I should do!
...okay, that's not really true.
I do have a plan, goals and such, a path in fact... But that path isn't entirely true to my desires and dreams. It is part of it, but there is something missing. Answers I must have! ...or something like answers at least.
Events in my life and opportunities have me pondering following a dream...
I'm conflicted and things have me considering alternatives I had otherwise discarded.
In the end, I'm just not satisfied with a moral dilemma I've never figured out, never answered, never understood, and maybe I should take a leap of faith and try dreaming big to address it...
...or, just play it safe and do what's 'normal.' Follow my path and do what I can.
