Overcoming Uncertainty


I went outside and I saw a lot of junk piling up. In the bottom photo there is the old kitchen sink and the counter tops and the hibachi stuff. In the top photo there is the stack of bricks, the piles of rubble and compost and dirt. There are also two pieces of rain gutter I would like to put up to temporarily keep the water away from the back door. There is other stuff in other places. It has rained so much I have been kept out of the yard. I'm feeling shy about getting outside and doing anything. I will go back to my fall season plan and pick up the thread of projects which have real value and do something. There is benefit in creating plans. When I made the plans I was thinking clearly. I just have to trust that and persist. Fear, doubt, worry, uncertainty - Be Gone! Let good work be done.
