March 2015 Goals
February was so good. It was full of adventures and snow, progress and training, and it marked the start of my third trimester. But I will admit : the beginning of February was really hard because of one word: indecision. There were so many big things we had to make decisions about, and they were hard. For whatever reason, Will and I could not for the life of us decide where to take our babymoon. I couldn’t decide whether to not to take a trip to Nashville to run a 15K and surprise my sister, or stay home. I couldn’t decide whether to say yes or no to speaking engagements this fall. We are still trying to decide on a crib. I felt like I was stuck in this slump of indecision on so many levels, and it was rough.
One night when I was talking to my mom about it, she said something to me that really changed my mind about my indecision. She said, “Nancy, make a decision, then make it right.” In other words, it’s best to just go ahead and make the decision, then don’t look back to regret it! Boom. Then you can move forward and enjoy that decision! After agonizing for much to long, I simply said: we are doing this. So, we did plan a spontaneous trip to Nashville to visit my mom and surprise my sister and my niece Harper (it was her 7th birthday!). I secretly signed us both up to run in the Hot Chocolate 5K / 15K on Valentine’s Day! And guess what? It was SO worth it. My sister burst into tears when I walked in the door, and Harper wouldn’t stop hugging me. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I learned that it really is better to decide and move forward, rather than sit in the stress of indecision.
Also, after vacillating between Italy or California for our babymoon, we finally decided on California. And guess what? It absolutely was and is the right decision. Shorter flights (less swelling), more luxurious accommodations (thanks to more cushion in our budget), less stress to see and do all the things, no language barrier, warmer weather, focusing on one another rather than the hectic travel schedule (isn’t that what a babymoon is all about?) … it’s going to be perfect.
So, make March a month of decisions! What have you been putting off? What have you been agonizing over?
Make your decision, then make it right. Happy March, friends!
