Journal Post #2

Is It Worth It?

Is it worth it?  That is a question I have caught myself asking a lot this week.  Three weeks into this semester, taking a full load—4 classes a total 13 credit hours.  Work is going crazy; fiscal year end is upon us.  Kids, basketball practice, church callings, not to mention trying to have relationship with my wife—other than passing ships on the sea.  (By the way, she is finishing her Family Nurse Practitioner degree). Early morning up at 5:00—homework.  Get home as fast as I can, eat, bathe kids and put them to bed—homework.  I hopefully get to bed before midnight and the vicious cycle repeats itself.

I realized today as I am turning in one of my last assignments of the week that I am asking myself the wrong question.  The “Is it worth it?” question is not one to ask while you are going through the trying period in your life.  That is a question to ask at the end of the challenge and before the start of a new one.  Why?  Because I know the answer is yes.  The late nights, the long hours, the hectic schedule and all the craziness that comes along with it will be worth it.  But for now, I am going to bed.  (Finally).

$100.00 Challenge Project Update:

I think I have pretty much decided which project I am going to take on for my $100.00 challenge, and I was also able to find a way that I can actually earn some sweat equity and get a deal on the raw materials.  Things are starting to come together.
