Dear Anita,

 challenge is to, is for you to endure the distress or discomfort of not knowing for sure

Excellent way to say this.

Here’s the thing – about life – but we will focus on this scenario.  You just never know.

BUT. My husband and I are logical people.

1 – the job will be better than the one here, well – it is hard to be worse! lol

2- SD as a location by nature will have a better patient population.  By this I mean the type of clientele, this is not racist – but just a statement that is true.  I won’t elaborate more – risking it seeming like I am profiling patients.  I don’t intend for it to come off this way.

3- The set up of his practice is very organized, with tons of staff that operate well together it seems.  Sure nothing is perfect.

His current job – not enough staff, and those who have frankly could care less about helping the doctors, common goal – of helping the patient.

4- SD, well it is SD.  We absolutely love it there, and the outdoor lifestyle – and the fact that if and when we have kids, we can expose them to this.  Also with the amount we pay in rent here – we could get a 3 bedroom home near the beach! Can’t beat that.

5- Lastly, nothing once again will be perfect. But we are optimistic, not clueless and naive.  As in, it would be foolish if I said to you: CA is so beautiful – of course life will be better there!

or: the hospital is so nice, and people are so nice, of course we will be happier!

I have been through enough in my life to know that there are always unpredictable factors, people, life events, stressors – but if at least we align ourselves with positive opportunities – and hope for the best – we can set ourselves up for something great!
