I’d say follow your heart. I’d avoid the excessive blood tests especially because I don’t like needles. I read through and tried to keep focused on the insurance and retirement talk but I also said quite a few “Wows!” to the metal art in your garden. I love them!!! Quite unique. Did you create some of them? I think they deserve a post just for them. Each piece looks so interesting.
I have made choices that are not necessarily the “smartest” or “best” but once I’ve made up my mind, I decide not to look back and feel regretful.
