Which Path?

      Sometimes it's difficult to make a life-changing decision. It would be so much easier to stay in the status-quo. 


     I have been waiting for a couple of years now for God to push me to go back to school to get my Master's degree in nursing ~ been planning on doing it since my graduation in '08. It's been easier to just, wait for the right time."

 Instead of a push, I've been getting little nudges. OK, I get it. Now is the right time. 
    
    I'm fifty three years old. 
In five years I'll be fifty-eight.
                                                                                                                                            
   What am I going be doing when I'm fifty-eight? It's totally up to me to choose. What path will I take? It's always easier to continue in the same direction than to change directions. Isn't that a law of physics? It takes more energy to choose a new path. 


             There might be many brambles and thorns, rocks jutting out of the earth, and 
                                      most likely I'll be climbing uphill the entire way.     
        
     I've sent in my application and I'm working on my writing sample for admissions in the Master's of Nursing in Education at Indiana Wesleyan University. 
                                 
                                                The first step has been taken.
