Rearranging furniture

If there is one door in the castle you have been told not to go through, you must. Otherwise you'll just be rearranging furniture in rooms you've already been in. ~Anne Lamott
 
A friend, unable to face the crisis in her marriage (Oh, my, the stories we tell ourselves when we can't face the obvious!), kept rearranging her living room furniture when she couldn't sleep at night.
 
In the story of Bluebeard, the wife comes face to face with the shocking truth when she opens the forbidden door in the castle. If you're not familiar with it, read the story here
 
What door have you avoided opening? Make a list of consequences. Make another list of possibilities.
