We had some severe storms fly through our area this afternoon and early evening, and as I was washing some clothes in the basement, I just found it fascinating to see everything happening from below ground level. I even opened one of the tiny windows by our dryer just to get a clear look at the raindrops falling to the ground. Sometimes it's just interesting watching nature do its thing from a different angle.
However, this isn't the basis for my title today. A situation came up today where I had to make a choice: attend to a family situation or ignore it to go to practice. Where I come from, no matter what the situation, family comes first...PERIOD. The fact that I explained my situation should've been enough, but there are some people in this world who don't exactly remember what their priorities are, and I thank God everyday that I'm not one of them. I told my mom what happened as I was attending to my family situation, and just hearing her calm me down in her soothing voice just reminded me that I would be making the right decision in a couple days regarding my future. She said it was the final sign I needed to validate my decision, and now it was just time to just follow through with it calmly and professionally so I can move on. The hardest part now is getting to that point and making it happen. I'm sure once I have, the monkey I feel is on my back will emphatically jump off and run away. Until next time...

Seems there's also some people in this world who don't know how to handle more than one priority at once. Sometimes it's better to clean up your own backyard before you go knocking on your neighbor's door.
