I like the visual metaphor of a road; very appropriate. I took the Nikon (!) out on its first walk today, but I only took two pictures. It was so icy that we had to concentrate on keeping upright.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-71487186172298938592010-01-03T18:34:02.879+01:002010-01-03T18:34:02.879+01:00The necklace thing sounds a bit Ouija Board-ish, b...The necklace thing sounds a bit Ouija Board-ish, but I think that the question about decision-making is a fascinating one. Like you, I tend to make a quick (probably intuitive) leap into decisions, even really big ones; and it has (often) driven me crazy that my husband likes to mull something over ad nauseum OR put a decision off until the very last minute. We have a couple of really big life decisions to make in the next couple of years, but I keep wanting to make them now -- just for the sake of pinning the future down. Even though the time is not quite ripe. I need to work on that.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-83324523725930906222010-01-03T16:27:00.453+01:002010-01-03T16:27:00.453+01:00My grandmother used to do that with a needle hangi...My grandmother used to do that with a needle hanging from a thread although she could tell if a person was pregnant with a boy or a girl.<br /><br />I'm learning more and more to sort of LISTEN to myself and trust that I know what's right. I think you read my post about that rude person I met while looking for retail opportunities - the truth is, I felt it was wrong before I even went into that shop. I said to myself that this was the last time I did not trust my instinct. <br /><br />Btw, here is a walk through the snow - some more for you to lust for ;) Do people ride sparks in Denmark too?

I then spend up to years (but usually months) until I get fed up with not doing the right answer and then jump all of a sudden. I think it confounds others somewhat because they think I just came to the decisions all willy-nilly. :)Indiri Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107905468709485217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-76654039681013561752010-01-03T00:07:20.688+01:002010-01-03T00:07:20.688+01:00All best wishes for the new year.

Sometimes I still am unsure, but sometimes I get a real sense of clarity- I love that.<br />Things like little purchases are harder. I will 'take something for a ride' in my cart for a while only to talk myself out of it before the checkout. Or I will leave an item at a thrift store only to think about it all week- then I go back and its gone, of course.Lynnaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717761180835909042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-31397737932430539952010-01-02T18:31:31.477+01:002010-01-02T18:31:31.477+01:00That is a novel way of coming to a decision.

My biggest tale tale sign is if i am planning something, anything and the plans just seem to keep falling into place, EASILY, then I know I am doing the right thing, if I seem to struggle and nothing seems to work, its all a fight and wrong, as much as I try to make it right or work, then I stop and notice that path is not the right one!<br />Enjoy!Trina Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02035231397593397886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-47185567569052666272010-01-02T18:04:16.898+01:002010-01-02T18:04:16.898+01:00Ah, the unknown...
