Decisions decisions

Life is much harder when there are decisions.

My parents gave us what they could.  As much as they could.  The decisions on what these things were was only mitigated by the amount of money they had available at the time.  Teachers are certainly limited in that respect.

There was more money available for my children.  Much more.  Our decisions had to be based on something else.  They had more advantages, more options, more disappointments, because they knew we were sometimes nixing those things they felt important.

Now my decisions wrap around what I want to do, what I need to do, and what I can't do.  It gets more complicated as I grow older.
