In My Face

Sometimes I can’t make a decision to save my life. During these times I find myself procrastinating, long before I even realize. For some odd reason I don’t pull the trigger, or circumstances prevent it. I am pretty confident this is where my so-called perfectionist rears her bossy, sassy, self….ha!

I’m envious of those people that can make a quick decision, without much effort or stress. Both my Mom and sister are wired this way, and never look back. Oh, how I wish this was me at times. My hesitation is like a foreign language to them. I like to take my time to weigh out the options and possible outcomes. Which I think is both a blessing and a curse.

Recently, I had been trying to make a decision on something that would really only matter to me, yet I found myself….stuck. It seemed everytime I thought I found the answer, a door would close. Frankly, I was getting frustrated and feeling a sense of panic.

I talked to my children, friends, and family to get their opinion. They talked it through with me, and each time I ended the conversation, I thought it was solved, but no such luck. Fate had other ideas and kept trying to tell me, but I couldn’t see it.

The turning point came while I was meeting with a girlfriend. I told her my dilemma, and she began processing it with me. She said something that I had unknowingly ignored all along…….in that instance, the heavens opened their floodgates and welcomed me in. Tears came to my eyes, and I realized the answer had been in front of me the entire time. How could I have missed all the signs?

The funny thing, when I look back at all the road blocks, and indecision, I was being guided to my AH-HA moment. It had been in my face all along. Little blessings surfaced on the journey; thank goodness I kept listening with my heart.
