back to writing...

I remember back in the 8th grade when one of my favorite teachers of all time, Mrs. T introduced us to daily writing from "The Book of Questions." Back in 2000, I picked up a copy of that book along with another book to inspire me to write on a daily basis. With the intent there, time unfortunately did not permit. Now that I do have more time on my hands, it's back to writing. Writing not just to write but to keep the mind sharp and flowing.

So with that being said, I begin with question one.

For a person you loved deeply, would you be willing to move to a distant country knowing there would be little chance of seeing your friends or family again?

Wow, back in the day, my answer to this question would have been simple. But now that I'm older, it's alot harder to think of the right answer to this question as there are so many other questions that come up. The selfish side to me would say yes in a heartbeat. That would have been my answer in my early twenties. But now, as I approach the mid thirties, I can't say yes without hesitation. Sacrifice and compromise. Isn't that what life is about? One has to sacrifice and compromise in order to obtain happiness. How does love configure into this equation as there are so many types of love in my life? Would I be willing to give up the love I have for my husband and lose those who have been there for me even before I was married? It's not a fair question to ask and it's not a fair question to answer.

I think it's only fair to sit on this question a bit longer. I'll probably come back to it sooner than later....
