I got up this morning to join an all-day zoom – scheduled to run for 12 hours-fully intending to spend a goodly amount of time printing photos: 3 x 4, 4 x6 and/or 5 x7. All totaled, I have about 50 photos …

My next decision: Do I print here at home or send to Walgreens or a photo print service, e.g., Shutterfly, Persnickety, etc… The more I think about this, the more inclined I am to print at home, especially since looking out the window , I am greeted with grey sky and wet surfaces . Not exactly an invitation to go out! And I do have the tools/resources I need: printer; photo paper; and a fresh new ink cartridge. So, one wonders : “What’s the hold up?” And the answer is simple:

INDECISION!!! (Shhh- don’t tell anyone). I remember, when I was about 6 years old, my mother, sister, my mother’s friend, her two daughters and I were in downtown Muskegon, MI! T’was a Saturday, “shopping day” at the department stores. Everyone went to town to shop – both window and “for real.” I’d debated whether I would stay with my mother or go with Catty – my mother’s friend. I chose to stay with my mother … and then: At the last moment, after Catty crossed the street, I changed my mind. I darted across the street, in front of a car driven by a man who had his wife and two children in the car. He stepped on the brakes – hard – just as I appeared in front of his car. Needless to say, the world stopped. I recall hearing shrieks ~ from my mother, Catty, and the man driving. I was wondering what all the hoopla was. Both the man and Catty were “wasted.” He couldn’t drive; his wife had to take over. My mother had to support Catty, who was also wasted.

These days, I don’t dart in front of cars but I am still prone to be a tad indecisive. I think primarily because I am intrigued by a lot of things: ideas; practices; areas to explore; etc. Perhaps “curiosity” is a better word. Worth exploring …

…and in the meantime, I’ve printed not ONE photo, That’s the bad news. The good news; I have about 5 hours left on this day to complete the job! Guess I’ll get a “move on”!

Cheers~
