A Choice for Now

In my last post, Choosing Between Good Things, I mentioned I might have to put my blog on hiatus. I've decided that instead of a full stop, I'm going to post on it when I can instead of posting regularly. As for a few other choices going on in life, I've got those...

Choosing Between Good Things

I have things to plan and work for regarding the future, and to do so I must figure out what things to give up in the present, if only temporarily. I don't want to give things up. I feel like I shouldn't give up some of them. But I do need to at least consider doing...
