Decisions

Sometimes it doesn't matter what the decision is, it's the making of it. You decide and act on it and then, with your head clearer you can do this, then you do that, could be small things you do, but you do them and it gets easier to do the next thing.
I remember mum telling me about when she suffered from serious anaemia after I was born and she was so, so tired. And depressed probably. She couldn't think or face anything and she remembers standing at the sink washing up. She washed one thing, rinsed it, dried it and put it away. Then a spoon, washed, rinsed, dried, put in the drawer. Then a fork. Then a knife, a plate, following the sequence until all the washing up was done. That's the only way she could do it.
Sometimes that's all we can do. Work through the pile that seems so big, too big, one small step at a time. And then hopefully, it's done.
