The Aqua Hot is working…, an LED for the water pump is working, the SAT TV is having fits off and on - welcome to RVing!  There is no good explanation for why some things started working and some stopped - breakers have been fiddled with, an AHot filter fiddled with, the Satellite has been sworn at…

It is extremely soggy again, but temps are above freezing and supposed to stay that way.  The Captain is still abed but I am fairly confident that we will stick with the plan of heading east to Jackson, MS and then south to Hattiesburg today.

Let go in reckless confidence all that shackles you to yesterday, imprisons you in your own small self today and frightens you with the uncertainty of tomorrow.         Brennan Manning (see also laughter post)

I’m struggling with work… I’ve been working on learning several new programming environments and really not doing much “paying” work until I’m at a point of proficiency in these programs.  I’m a “hired gun” - paid by the hour so “doing the math” - the coffers are a bit dry.  Now, I’ve been through this before and dealt with the scary feeling of “will I get up to speed and get the cash rolling in before I run out?” scenario - so a good 95+ % of the time, I concentrate on the learning and the doing and let the fear go.

BUT, sometimes, in the wee, small hours of the morning - the fear goblins wake me.  I’ve had a short run of fighting off said goblins.  This morning I remembered this quote - actually this line from the quote.  What a great line and how good for me to hear.  I’ve read it and said it - I decided it needs to be my “mantra” for a bit…

Let go [the fear] in reckless confidence.  Fear of tomorrow’s uncertainty absolutely “shackles” me to yesterday which from today’s perspective seems less difficult.  Fear “imprisons” me in a world of self, self-doubt and self-recrimination.

So… onward! ~ letting go in reckless confidence ~ or as Nike says: Just Do IT!
