Options

Last night for some unknown reason I found myself thinking about the concept of options. I was thinking about my current job situation and the stress I've allowed it to create and in a moment it hit me that - damn, at least I have options. I can CHOOSE what I do next. How I handle things. And suddenly none of it seemed very stressful anymore.

Some people don't have the luxury of weighing this and that and analyizing that choice over this one.

I have options. And damn aren't I lucky. Stressing over them and making them into more than they are is actually, in theory, totally bratty and a pretty crappy use of my energy. Because I should be glad I have 'em in the first place.

End stress.

Similarly, Aaron often says, "these are good problems to have." It's his way of giving us perspective when whining about things that, like you said, are good options to have. Most recently "that" has been the sod, which is the bain of my existence. However, "it's a good problem to have."
