Decisions

brought back a couple of samples of granite for counter tops from marble and granite works in Michigan...realize what a visual learner i am when it comes to making decisions regarding decorating--i need to see a lot of displays before my own mind becomes clear...(and not quite there yet)! 

i was told the other day that it must be really nice having so much "space in my brain."  In context, I think she meant that I have time in my life right now to ponder things such as granite patterns, new life directions, politics and things not of the making-a-living sort of concerns.  Yes, I am so grateful to have some time to pause after teaching since 1977, yet it is so interesting how i now feel pressure to figure out how to make-a-life.  okay, here i go--my cry for the day...I guess I'm seeing that we need to figure out how to enjoy life no matter what phase we are in...
