Making decisions

[drenalinld]

You're a good man Ray. As a husband and father our wants and needs are secondary until SPRING!!!  DSD will be better in the Spring than a tat.

  Well said Preacher !!

To add to Preacher's comment, those deposits add up and often bear "interest". 

Just be cautious that you don't make decisions with the "return" being your primary focus.  I celebrated 24 years of marriage yesterday and have gained some insight along the way.  I can assure you it wasn't all a cake-walk!  That said, I'm looking forward to the next 24.

One little parting thought...

Disappointment is the result of unmet expectations.  Unmet expectations are most always based in selfishness or self-focused thought.
