Decisions made and acted on

I had been thinking about changing our car as I don’t need a SUV, I had been looking around for a smaller automatic without any luck but yesterday I found one in a local garage. The urge to go and see it was very strong and I felt it couldn’t wait, when they looked over my car I was shocked to be told it was unsafe to drive, it was only MOTd and serviced in June. I am not at all car orientated but I felt I was being pushed to do this, I am sure it was Ray telling me to do it to keep me safe. The decorator I had been dithering about and again I felt a push to get on with it is painting our lounge, hall stairs and landing. Am I loosing the plot? I hope not and it was Ray giving me a nudge.

I think it’s lovely that you feel Ray is giving you a nudge to do things.
I also have had similar experiences, especially when buying a car since my husband died.
It gives me great comfort to think he’s still looking out for me, especially when I’m seriously out of my comfort zone .

I dither a lot. I get these thoughts like he would say get on with it but don’t always. I go round in circles.
wish I wasn’t like this. I don’t get much done in the scheme of things.

Well my car is very old but still goes.
I have to sort out another year and cross my fingers it still goes. I know it needs a new part from last year’s MOT. But it has done a very low mileage. I had it from new. It suits me. I was lucky not to be scammed when I asked for help.

It’s so hard to make solo decisions , I too dither a lot, overthink my husband used to say. Often I miss out because I dithered so much, then I’m cross because I missed out!!!
I’m sure you’re achieving more than you realise @Enorac , maybe just not as quickly as before :blush:.

Oh since I got older I have got worse dithering about. I think I am a victim of mood swings. Sometimes don’t dither and just go for it. Other times am the opposite.
Last year I remember I saw two lovely rugs in the market. I didn’t hesitate I just said I want them. Was very pleased. Same last year just bought new cutlery and a trolley which I used a few times. I got a steamer hoping it would help but was disappointed and can’t really get it to be very useful as I thought. I hoped it would clean the carpet.
