Decisions are Always Easy…After a Shower

Today I was faced with making some very difficult decisions.  Fortunately, the decisions were not life or death matters, just many things going on in my life both personally and professionally.  I get a bit panicky when everything seems to be happening at once and since I am at this strange crossroads in life, I am needing to decide how I should proceed.

It’s funny because when I need to confront my ever changing mind, I generally will stop in my tracks, and do what I’m sure many others do, maybe with different motivations, but hopefully with some positive end results.  The custom I adopt to magically dissolve away all of my problems and bring forth all of those wondrous decisions is none other than, did you guess…of course, a good ol’ fashioned shower!  It is miraculous how a shower, with its glorious, steaming presence seems to always, without hesitation, clear my doubt-filled head while allowing me the opportunity to figure out my next steps. My husband absolutely despises when I enter this enchanted downpour because as I exit this ceremonial ritual, my first words always seem to be “Sweetheart, did you remember to…”.  Oh boy, and how he hates that!  I just chuckle at this silly little way that undeniably always gets under his skin.

So, did that shower actually provide a judgment to the rolling thoughts swimming endlessly in my mind?  YES, as a matter of fact, I made quite a few decisions I am happy to report.  Now were they the right decisions? Heck, if I know!  I said I made decisions after my shower.  I didn’t say if they were right or if they were wrong!
