All About Choices

I can rattle off a few cliches about choices.
"We are the sum of our choices."
"Choose wisely."
"The choices you make today, decide tomorrow."
Blah, blah, blah....blah blah!
Today I've come to the realization that I have a problem with choosing. The funny thing is that I only have a problem making insignificant decisions.

The big stuff is rather easy.
I mean I decided what car I would get in a matter of minutes.
I chose the college I would attend without reservation.
And I moved into an apartment I'd only seen pictures of online with no issue.
Yet, I will spend an hour trying to decide between the gray shoe or the brown.
Sigh...
If you've visited my blog for any length of time, you've probably noticed that the design keeps changing.
No, its not because I have nothing better to do than play on my blog because it actually is getting in the way of other stuff (SMH), but its because I can't decide on a design!
This blog is supposed to represent me. But let's face it. There's no way this limited profile can really, honestly, and truly represent me. Although, my changing it everyday does say something.
I should just get over it right?
Maybe so, but then I'll be on to the next indecisive task like picking a nail polish color. (Don't get me started on that!)
I'd like to blame my indecisiveness on me being a perfectionist, but I'm not sure that's the reason.
Anyway, they say the first step is admitting you have a problem.
So here's my confession...I'm indecisive, but only about little things.
I've gotta overcome this though, because it seriously is a time-waster.
Alright, that's it.
From this day forward, I will do better about making decisions in a timely manner.
That felt good.
I'm deciding to end this post now.
Good day...

Reality Check

I had a host of errands to run today. Of them was a quick and necessary long trip to the mall to grab some stuff for this crazy weather.

(It was -2 in Syracuse this morning!)

I decided I was going to spend one of my Christmas gifts, a gift card to H&M.

I was in need of warm clothing, but also want to make the most of the $25 card.

It was the longest time I've ever spent in a store.

I tried on countless items and was getting so frustrated.

Ladies, you know how we can beat ourselves up in the dressing room! Yea, I was having one of those days.

But then I looked to the right of the mirror (that does no one any justice) and saw the most appropriate and sweet little note inked on the wall.

It read:

Whoever wrote it was a thoughtful genius because it seems like no matter what size you are, trying on clothes is always a self-deprecating experience.

Thankfully, I got a reality check today!
