A little birdie yelled at me for not posting so this is for you Amanda.
As I lay here in bed bargaining with myself about getting up I start to think about the decisions I've made to get where I am.
I bargained with myself to take my current job. It's not the career path I saw myself going down. Ever. But I've learned a lot, worked really hard and it has allowed me to move where I needed my life to move. This brings me to bargain #2.
About 3 years into my relationship with my husband (then boyfriend), I made it clear to him that I didn't want to raise a family in Brooklyn and that I'd like to move to Vermont to be closer to my family. The ensuing fight is now only humorous because we've since gotten married and subsequently moved to Vermont. But we bargained with each other to make it work in any way we could and to keep our minds and options open. All it took was one acceptance letter to UVM to seal the deal.
Now don't get me wrong, none of these bargains have anything to do with my internal coin flipping to decide if I go for a run or do some work before getting ready to drive 6 hours to Westchester for Passover with my in laws. It just got me thinking.
What will you bargain for?
