don't cross that line

i'm back in portland. i was here a month ago for my mom's first cataract surgery, and today they did the other eye.

life has been a bit stressful as of late. the need for a decision about grad school looms.

i know i'll make the right choice about where to go. i just don't know what that'll be yet. i just hope my gut, heart and brain all line up once i have all the options in front of me. i'd done so well with enjoying the present without wanting to hit fast forward or worrying about the future. not so at the moment.

sigh. i am grateful i have options. very grateful. and they're good ones. at least there is that.
