To go, or not to go

I struggle with the question “Shall I go on a nature walk or stay home?” all the time.

Last night when my son invited me on a walk I decided to stay home and be cozy and warm. I thought about the pro’s and the con’s and made my decision.

And then, of course, my son came back with the most incredible sunset pictures from one of my favorite spots. Just look at those colors! Unbelievable!

Should I have gone on the walk? You know, every time we stay home we are going to miss something in nature. That’s just how it works! I think the answer to this dilemma is to embrace the decision we’ve made and be happy with it. My son brought home these beautiful photos that I’m enjoying now. I stayed warm and cozy which was also good. I’m also just a bit more motivated to brave the cold at sunset next time the opportunity comes my way.

Do you face dilemmas like this?
