Morale from TV series, 'The Mentalist'

Ïf we focus on what we like and what we don't like
Life will be so tiring"

Well... or something along that line. Was watching it and listening to a couple of conversation (with hubby and kids) at the same time.

Anyway... the simple truth in it... how it summed up my dilemma at the moment, strikes me.

I have always wondered... whether our decision to keep me working full time is a good one.

When I need to pay the bills, I felt trully glad that I'm working.
Likewise when I heard things going on in hubby office.

On the other side of the coin, whenever the kids misbehaved...
I do wonder, if I raise them myself... 24 hours a day, 7 days a week... (well... may not be in physical term... but you get the gist...)

Will they fare better?

So what's that got to do with The Mentalist quote???

I realized... that life may be too short, and the number of hours in a day is too few, to nurture my wonder on above topic. It is a vicious cycle that can go on and on... grass on the other side of the fence and all...
To borrow Nike slogan, just do it.

Decide, and live on it, mending things as we go along.

"The secret of life is not to do what we like...
but to like what we have to do.." - wisdom from a very great woman, a principal of my high school.

Easier said than done, huh? Tell me about it...
