Vacillation, Vocation & Vexation

In you feel incline, answer one or all.
1 - Vacillation - something you keep changing your mind on
2 - Vocation - something you are particularly suited to do or particularly drawn toward, such as a career or occupation
3 - Vexation - something that annoys you

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

My answers:
1 - Vacillation - I change my mind on pretty much everything
2 - Vocation - maybe a writer although my grammar is still wonky after all these years
3 - Vexation - I get a bit annoy when people rush when they are doing me a favor but when I do them a favor, they seem to think I shouldn't rush

  2. 1 - Vacillation - I'm the kind of person who doesn't change her mind...maybe I should have sometimes, now I'd be living a better life...
    2 - Vocation - writing (not as an author, but as a blogger, reviewer...)
    3 - Vexation - when my hair doesn't turn out right.

    1. Roberta: I'm a bit like you, once I made up my mind on something, I don't change it. But yes, some decisions are worth changing.

      That's my vocation too.

      I don't have an issue with my hair except it misbehaves.

      Thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.

  3. Vacillation's just a cool word.

    Same with writing- as much as I do it, you'd think I coud edit my typos or remember commas, etc

    1. Greg: I actually learned that word, vacillation, from the show Charmed, the original version that is.

      It's just hard to get English grammar right, there's so many odd rules.

      Thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.

  4. Vacilliation: Oh, so many things, and then I end up doing neither.
    Vocation: ... maybe old fashioned, but every time I see that word, I'm back in Salzburg, and hear the abbess from Nonnberg sing "Climb ev'ry Mountain" inside my head. And then I feel the strenght to brave one more day.
    Vexation: People that do not listen (or read) before answering.

    1. Charlotte: Indecision sometimes means not making any decisions.

      Vocation - That's some thought.

      Oh yes, that vex me too.

      Thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
