No Guarantees

Hello Bloggers,

As I'm here in Dubai & considering a 3 year work tour, I'm leaning towards doing it. I work very hard to maintain my family & myself, but if anything my life has taught me, that life worth living means that I have to take calculated risks. After long thoughtful discussions with my family & close friends, it just makes sense for me to do this, not only for myself, but for my family. Making 80K more a year will allow me to go back to grad school & save for a down payment for my own home. It will also .allow me to continue to help my family & lord knows I always need help with that
.I have been doing allot on my own & I have learned that in life there are no guarantees, hence the title of this entry. So, I continue to move forward positively & hope that the decisions I make have a positive impact on the people I love, & of course myself. So , as I visit this beautiful & religious city I've realized, now more than ever than ever, my evolution requires big moves. And although I'm having allot GI problems, I can honestly say it,s due to the stress of making this decision & adjusting to this time zone! I can honestly say that after visiting this city & spending limited time walking around, observing & soaking the culture in has led me to decide to do this. So, as I prepare to move forward & onward with my life, I want to share this saying that I heard today: when given extraordinary gifts expect not to have an ordinary life! When I get back home, I will definitely spend extra time with those that show me love! Muah
