Choices!!When goals mean being away from family

I have come to a point in my life where my mind and heart
are in such a delema.
There are many things I want to do and see and now I am able to.
However the lady who would jump in the car at a minutes notice
and drive around for months, well it does not hold the appeal it once did.

However I have dreams and hopes and desires and goals.
But am unsure what to do.
Now that my heart is split in 2
(one son and his family on west coast and the other son and his
family on the east coast) :'(

Not to mention my personal goals and desires.
How in the world do I decide what to do???
I have so many choices and some are selfish and some are
putting my goals in the past.
(sigh) I mean now that the kids are grown I wanted this to be MY time
but now that the grandchildren are here (oh my heart)
You never know you can love to much and so purely
until you have children.
And you think then you can never love another to that extreame
untill you have grandchildren.

   list your dreams and goals on slips of paper and put in a bowl. One by one, take one out and on a separate sheet of paper, list the pros and cons of going after each one. Then look at those and decide which one you want to do the most and GO FOR IT!
