Is it when we make up our minds that we are definitely doing something and our silly brains think that&#8217;s it?  I&#8217;m not a fan of over-thinking the decisions we choose to make, but is it too much to ask to think about them just the right amount?<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMy husband and I decided that we wanted to move our one large TV into another room.  Simple, right?  The ripples and waves that have been generated by this decision seem never ending.  We have a couch in our dining room, for goodness sake!  It&#8217;s like a giant picked up our house, shook it like a snow globe and set it down again.  The chaos has sapped my energy.  If only I had thought this decision through to see some of the ripples and waves&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSo, as I&#8217;ve been lamenting this decision most of the week, it is now time in our scheduled program to quit the whining and crying about what a mess I&#8217;ve made.  It&#8217;s time to silently pull on my boots, get off my duff and make this &#8220;decision&#8221; what it should be.  And maybe, just maybe, I&#8217;ve learned a little something?<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<center>:::<\/center><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.alamodestuffblog.com\/2010\/04\/organizing-meet-up-om-one-moment-wanna.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft height=\" src=\"http:\/\/i748.photobucket.com\/albums\/xx125\/alamodestuff\/OM_alamodemeetupbutton.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"om [one moment] meet up\" width=\"139\" \/><\/a>OM is *one moment* and is a meetup designed to notice &amp; relish a moment in everyday life.
