Sun shone early in the day. I slept longer than has been usual in the past few weeks. I hope that is a sign that normality may return to sleep patterns. By early evening, clouds began to gather, which fits with the forecasts for rain -- over an inch to fall in the next two days. Work on the talks for an upcoming conference occurred in the afternoon, while the evening involved watching a movie series marathon. The latter half of the Harry Potter series is intriguing though much darker than the first movies. More work will follow in the next two weeks, but taking breaks from the writing and speaking projects will be necessary to keep the mind fresh and somewhat productive.
There are time that I feel that I want to hide from everything -- definitely not a doable thing. Demands for decisions can weigh heavily especially when several larger issues arrive in close succession. Just making a decision and moving on to the next seems logical, yet not always easy to do. Carrying around all the anxiety that comes along with the need to make decisions often leads to major fatigue, which, in turn, perpetuates the difficulty in thinking clearly and making the dreaded decision. Often getting past those decisions results in relief but every once in while the decision lead to regret. Even one negative result can add to the angst of decision making. Learning to take care to make the best decision with the information available sounds easy -- not always <smile>. Work is required to get past the fear of or overthinking outcomes. Control isn't always available. Taking risks is part of daily living -- well, risk taking with caution <grin>.
A song lyric that spoke to me today comes from a soul selection. To move past whatever is blocking a decision means we have to understand ourselves. This song involves that very theme. Enjoy!
You Can't Hide from Yourself -- Teddy Pendergrass
