over your doubts.<\/p>\n

I just realized today how much progress I have been making in my life. I didn’t realize it so much from any particular result that I have to point to. But by the fact that there has been this little creeping voice of doubt wriggling back into my mind. A little voice that instead of finding hope and fun things to see, is looking and pointing to all the things to prove that I am wrong. It’s looking for the potholes. <\/p>\n

I am probably doing that so I won’t find myself hanging too far off a cliff. Sending myself all the danger signals: Edge of the world, here! Abandon all hope ye who enter! Turn back! It’s singing the song of: I am so out of my comfort zone. <\/p>\n

Ooo! Ooo! Ooo! Mr. Kotter! I know! This is only a hurtle! A transition! It’s the 24 inch box jump you always stumble and skin your shins on! <\/p>\n

Which, you know, is: RIGHT. WHERE. YOU. NEED. TO. BE. <\/p>\n

Progress, it’s just off the edge of the world, where the dragons are.<\/p>\n

It’s the hurtle I have to clear with no nail biting. <\/p>\n

I have to be in charge, not the worries, not the doubts. <\/p>\n

But how? <\/p>\n

Then I realized, it has been probably over a month since I have taken a picture I really loved. I just haven’t been able to locate, stumble upon or pull off any uplifting scenes that would make me excited to show off. I haven’t taken a picture that makes me think; “Wow! What an amazing world we live in.” And as the days and weeks have gone by that I haven’t been able to find those shots, I have been saying less and less to myself; “Wow! what an amazing world we live in!” And that has been leaving room for the doubts to whisper again. <\/p>\n

To hell with that! “Been there. Done that. Have the t-shirt.” <\/p>\n

Today’s post is for me more than anything. <\/p>\n

This was the last really good shot I took.

Dear Worries and Doubts:<\/p>\n

I hear you knocking but you can’t come in. <\/p>\n

Love,
