I’m not picky. Everyone says I’m picky. I’m not. I’m not picky. I’m selective. It’s totally not the same thing. At all.

But honestly even if I WAS picky, is that such a bad thing? In a world where serious and committed relationships often end in heartbreak or disaster, shouldn’t I be a little selective? Shouldn’t I wait for something or someone who makes sense and feels right and shares my [baseball] values? Shouldn’t I hold out for surety and that feeling that makes woodland creatures go all crazy mushy like? Shouldn’t we all be sure about the kind of person we want to raise little baseball-loving babies with??

I mean, we’re all totally different people. We aren’t all the same. We can’t just “pick a horse” and hope to get lucky (so to speak). I can’t just marry the first baseball loving singer/actress/PHD graduate/part time swimsuit model who comes along! That would be sheer lunacy! What if she didn’t like raccoons?? Or cartoons?? Or raccoon cartoons??!? See?!? One has to consider these things! That could have ended in disaster! -Whew- Dodged a bullet there.

Being selective: it’s important.

This past week has been an interesting one for me. I sense changes coming in my future and I’m not entirely certain what to expect. Will it mean a new and fancy job? A change of venue? A new and ridiculously adorable relationship? A new twist in this season’s episodes of Castle?? I just don’t know.

What I can be sure of, is that I’m due for a change, and that the same old stuff just isn’t going to cut it any more. It’s time for something more. What exactly that will mean, I do not know. I’m secretly hoping it will mean that my intake of Yoo-hoo will be drastically increased, but I can’t really be certain. Time will tell.

Sometimes I stress about decisions. I worry that one wrong decision will lead to a chain reaction that will cause my life to end up completely different than if I had made a different decision earlier on. And that’s the way life is. Because our decisions really do change the outcome of our lives. I suppose what matters is how we feel about the decisions we make. Sometimes it’s really simple to know what is the right and the wrong of every decision. And then there are moments when there are just a host of different possibilities and paths that lay before us, and the decision isn’t based on what is right or wrong, but rather what is better, and what is best. So sometimes I stress about big decisions because I’m afraid I’m somehow missing out on something even better. I’m aiming for bestest.
