There are many times in life when we know the answer to the question, but we just keep plugging along and ignore our gut and intuition. I am at a crossroads in my life with family situations and I know which road to take. I know what the right thing is for me, but I have let so many things get in the way of making that decision and moving forward. Some of the things I have let stand in the way are guilt, a sense of responsibility, and fear of the unknown. I am now determined do what my gut is telling me to do and stay in alignment with my values. As my good friend says, "Life first. Everything else can wait."
