Indecision vs. Indecisivenss
Indecision is an inability to decide. Sometimes intelligent people lack the expertise or information to make an effective decision at the given moment. Gathering advice or data can be wise as long as the determination is deliberate and based on rational thinking.
Indecisiveness, on the other hand is not deliberate and is based on irrational thinking. It’s a learned response we’ve developed. We’re afraid to make a decision because of the inherent uncertainty associated with making choices.

Episode 43 – OLYMPICS!
From Michele’s house: olympics talk, yarn-stuff, shopping, and exactly WHAT IS a challenge? (yarn talk starts at about 15 minutes)
MASSIVE CORRECTION: The music used today is not from a Russian composer. It is Johannes Brahms’ Hungarian Dance #5. Apologies to Hungary, Russia, Germany, and anybody who is a classical music connoisseur!
I was right about this being recorded by the Vienna Philharmonic. Year was 2004. Moving on to yarn – more experience in that genre!!!
