That refrax thing, my goodness, it’s a head-scratcher, ain’t it? I hear folks talkin’ ’bout it, makes my old head spin. Seems like it’s somethin’ you gotta think real hard on. Like when you gotta decide whether to sell that old cow or keep her for another year. Big stuff, you know?
This refrax, I reckon it’s like makin’ any big choice. You gotta look at it from all sides. Like when you’re pickin’ a spot to plant your taters. You want good sun, good dirt. Gotta think on what you need, you see. Is this gonna make me feel good? That’s what I always say, is it healthy? This refrax, will it leave you feeling good? Emotionally, spiritually, like after a good church singin’, physically, like after a day of honest work, and mentally, like when you finally figure out that darn quilt pattern. That’s important, right?
- Is it healthy, this refrax thing?
- Will it make you feel good all over?
- What’s it gonna do to ya in the long run?
Long run, that’s another thing. You gotta think ’bout tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that. Like when you’re puttin’ up preserves. You want them jars to last, don’t ya? Same with this refrax. Will you still feel good about it tomorrow? Next week? Next year? Big questions, these are. You gotta ponder on ’em, like a hen settin’ on her eggs.
And what about other folks? Will this refrax thing affect them? Like when you decide to get a rooster. Sure, you’ll have fresh eggs, but the neighbors might not be too happy with the crowin’. Gotta think ’bout the impact, you know? Your morals, your heart, what is right? What is good? This refrax, is it a good thing? Gotta think on that, too.
They say there’s steps to makin’ these big decisions, like bakin’ a cake. First, you gotta know what you’re decidin’ on. What’s the problem, really? Like when your well runs dry, you gotta figure out if you need a new one or if you can fix the old one. This refrax, what’s it all about? Gotta define it, they say.
Then you gotta gather your ingredients, your information. Like when you’re makin’ stew, you gotta see what you got in the pantry. What do you know about this refrax? What do other folks know? Gotta learn all you can before you make a move.
Next, you gotta look at your choices, your alternatives. Like when you’re decidin’ what to wear to the fair. You got your Sunday best, your work clothes, maybe that new dress you sewed. What are the options with this refrax thing? Gotta lay ’em all out, see what your possibilities are.
Then there’s this thing called “CM / M hrs req”, and I don’t know what alphabet soup this is, sounds like somethin’ them fancy engineers talk about. Then there is some other thing you should think about when making this refrax. But for a simple old woman like me, it’s like tryin’ to read a doctor’s writin’. Just makes my head hurt. I reckon it’s important, though, if they’re talkin’ ’bout it.
Being sensible, now that’s somethin’ I understand. That’s like knowin’ not to plant corn in the shade. Gotta use your common sense. Think things through, don’t rush into anythin’. This refrax, you gotta be sensible about it. Define the problem, what is it exactly? What are you trying to achieve? What do you want? That is the fundamental objectives.
- Define the problem
- Identify fundamental objectives.
- Consider alternatives
- Gather and evaluate information
- Reach a conclusion
Then, you gotta look at all your options, like I said before. Consider alternatives. Weigh ’em out, like you’re weighin’ apples at the market. Which one’s the best? Which one’s gonna give you the most for your money? Then, gather and evaluate the information. What have you learned? Is it good, is it bad? Then, reach a conclusion, make the decision, like choosing a husband, pick one and stick with it.
And don’t forget to think about what’s important to you, what you need. Like when you’re buyin’ a new pair of shoes. You want ’em to be comfortable, right? You don’t want ’em to pinch your toes. This refrax, it’s gotta fit you, gotta be right for your life, for your future. Make the decision that could affect your life.
Life decisions, those are the big ones. Like decidin’ to get married, or to have young’uns. Those choices change everything. This refrax, it might be one of those. Gotta treat it with respect, give it the time it deserves, do the right thing.
So, this refrax thing, it ain’t easy. It’s like climbin’ a steep hill. Gotta take it one step at a time, be careful where you put your feet. But if you think it through, if you use your head and your heart, you’ll make the right choice. Just like you always do, you strong, smart people. You will get through this refrax.
