I've been mulling over a possible life changing decision lately. I'm seriously thinking about going to school to become a therapist. You know, one of those people you go to for advice and to talk about your problems. No blood or anatomy needed.
I've also been giving that whole buying a new car thing some thought. I know I should do it, my house is very far from my job so I've put a lot of miles on my current car. My main problem is that I love my car so much, even if it is old and probably falling apart. I know getting rid of it is the right thing to do, but I'm attached.
My son has the chance to attend a week long 'class' in Washington, DC this summer where he would visit the White House and do mock government seminars. He loves politics so he's excited. I just have to decide if I want him in Washington or not. It's hard to know if it's the right thing with all that is going on in the world.
Finally, I'm deciding whether or not to let someone know how I truly feel about them. That's a big one for me. There's always a chance it could go wrong or be misunderstood. I'm not really sure he'll be upset or maybe surprised... but since the decision rests on my shoulders, it's me who's got to do the thinking. Love you all... as always.

well, i understand what its like to be attached to things. i still have things from my childhood that clearly i should not have as an adult, but i do not get rid of them because i am attached. a car is a good thing to be attached to. even if it is falling apart
it wouldn't hurt to get another car, and maybe you can keep your old one just to hold onto it, unless you planned on trading it in. it seems like it could be cool for your son to go to washington, but i do share your concern. however, there is stuff going on all over the world, not just washington. as far as letting someone know how you feel about them, it sounds like a good idea, at least there's someone in your life to feel for! keeping it inside might blow a real chance of something that could be awesome. if you two know each other i'm sure he'll know or understand what you are telling him

Phew... That's a lot of big decisions to be making!! I can't say that I envy you, but just remember, that change is good (well, almost always...
)
About your son, I have to say, you cannot live your life in fear of what might happen. Just imagine how bummed he will be if you say no...
And last but not least, good luck with the guy, I'm very excited for you. Love is the best!!

Thank you all for your advice as always. It's nice to know that you care and wish me well. So far I've only decided to let my son go to Washington if that is what he wants. I know it will make him happy. The other three things are a bit harder for me to decide upon. Especially the last one.

Hoeech
As attached as you may be to your car, you'll feel a whole lot more affection for a shiny new one
I'd be more concerned about your son going into politics than going to Washington. Politicians rank one step higher than used car salesmen on a recent "respected vocation" poll.
What are you waiting for?? Tell him! If he feels the same way, great! If not, you'll know and be able to move on rather than sit around wondering.
