decision made

In a previous post I explained how I was in the middle of making an important decision. Well, this decision was about a possible job change. After much thinking, praying, analyzing and weighing things out, I made my decision. I've decided to stay at my current job. The other job had a lot of positive aspects about it but there were definite factors that gave me a lot of doubt and uncertainty. How can I change jobs especially considering the biggest factor which is that I'm perfectly fine where I am now. If I was desperate for a new job, or felt that drive to pursue something new, I could justify such a move. But with the combination of uncertainty, doubt, and being satisfied with my current job, it just felt right to stay.

I feel sooooo relieved that this is past me. I've realized that we don't need to go through all the stress that we seem to go through in life. Sometimes, we sort of create our own stress. When you're faced with a dilemma, solve it. Often times, the solution is in your hands. And if it's not, make a plan B (C, D, E if needed), and go for it. I've learned that although there are times when we must be patient and wait things out for a little while, waiting a lifetime filled with stress is not the answer either. This recent stress I was going through was not necessary. So I've made my decision and feel so relieved!

The best part is that I'll continue to work at my current school, where my son will be attending Pre-K next year. I'll be a 1 minute walk away from him. I really appreciate having that opportunity.

*big sigh of relief (with a smile on my face)*
