Have you ever sat and pondered a decision—weighing two paths—for so long that you've convinced yourself either decision would be a good and equally bad one to make? We've all done it to some degree. Whether it's over-analyzing the outcome of taking this path or that. Or maybe you wonder about what the outcome would have been and constantly live there—in the past. The thing is, we can live a what-if type of life. In this episode we drive and we talk about what it all means, if it has any meaning at all. One thing is certain: neither of us want to end up regretting the decisions we've made and will make. And the best way to do that is to live and be present as much as possible. We actually don't remember if this is even what we talked about on the podcast. But after some days of pondering things myself, this is kinda what we wish we could've articulated. Follow the podcast at: GroceryChat.comFollow our business at: BearIcebox.comFollow DeAnna at: DeAnnaLeticia.comListen to Bob's music and some of De's lyrics at: Ginger Binge on SpotifyFollow us on all the socials too.
