LOL! I'm glad the list lowered your stress instead of upping it!

What a stress lowering activity. I used to embrace change a lot easier, but some things definitely get harder with age. Thanks for that list to show me I'm lucky. I don't have to deal with all those things, just a few!

Writing has so many facets.

I haven't shown you that? Next time I see you, I'll show you my color-coded to-do list with my quotes to myself :).

I like that, Laura! Takes some of the fear away!

How long have I known you, Christina, and you never shared that brilliant tidbit with me? Okay, you probably did and I forgot. Lol. But still, BRILLIANT! Thank you.

Especially since, sometimes, you won't be able to assess whether the decision was a good one for years after you make it. My major decision-making strategy after doing all the above? I think of the WORST possible outcome. If I determine I can survive that, I go ahead and do it.

You're right about one more thing: Change is scary!
