leaping into the unknown

Made a big decision today. Priorities, life, family, the future, sanity, fulfillment, satisfaction, growth, paths I'm on and paths I want to take...all those figured into it and more. It's funny how you take so long to build up to something, then *boi-oi-oing* you suddenly act on it. Seems impulsive, but it's not really...it's the culmination of hours/days/weeks/months of foreground and background pondering, pluses and minuses adding up, tally marks going into columns, pros being weighed against cons, yeah-buts and what-ifs. Then one day the last piece falls into place, like that final x-shaped bit of yellow plastic that dropped into the blue and red ball when you were a kid...and tah-dah, you have leapt.
