U is for Undecided: A to Z Blogging Challenge 2018

I am undecided about today's  topic.

Being in a refective mood, I considered writing about umbrellas and the protection they provide,  and maybe correlating that to the protection that families or God provide. However,  I recently wrote about umbrellas.

Next, I considered comparing and contrasting our unity and uniqueness.  But it started sounding "preachy."

Then I read an article that depressed me. Rather than consider how to combat the problem, I daydreamed about unplugging, going off grid, and living my life away from the invading sickness. But that is avoidance behavior.

So I remain undecided about my U-word. Then I decided that could be my U-word:  Undecided.

I am by nature a gatherer of information.  Usually the information I collect is trivial and only useful in specific situations. For instance, a British boy born aboard a ship is known as a Son of a Gun. The only time I have ever needed to know this was during a game of Trivial Pursuit: Classic Edition. 

Being a gatherer of information, I find the planning of trips and activities almost as much fun as the actual event. Almost.

The downside of gathering information is deciding when enough information has been gathered. Continually gathering information can lead to procrastination, which can be seen as a form of perfectionism.

Which is where I am today--for sure not perfect; however, mired in procrastination and indecision. Not only am I undecided about my topic, I am undecided about my activity after I finish this post.

Luckily tomorrow is an easy letter for which to come up with post ideas....V is for victory.  Or veteran. Or vacation. Or vacillation. Or....
