I knew I would (no doubt here!).<br /><br />I'm behind in my blog reading, but a couple of quick things: I also love Dogma; and ICP has a yearly concert type thingy near here at Cave-in-Rock, I think it's called The Gathering.

It means you (we) care, right? It means that we're invested, and we're trying, and we want to do better, always. I'm usually chilled to the bone by people who have no doubts, ever. They are Stepford-ish and scary. They have no vulnerability. I can tell you're a good mother/wife/writer because you doubt--which means you care. I often have doubts--and I like myself for having them.

Doubt is pretty normal, but allowing doubt to keep you from doing something you really want to be doing in your life is a talent killer.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/2010/03/blog-boggled-blogging-from-to-z-april.html" rel="nofollow">Blogging From A to Z April Challenge</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10722111911442589.post-87416345245358582332010-04-05T13:52:50.788-07:002010-04-05T13:52:50.788-07:00Oh yeah.

Then I just treated my kids like intelligent little people, explained things in ways I knew they would understand, was there for them.<br /><br />Once you get past that doubt, you'll be fine. Sometimes, though, I think doubt is good. It keeps us from getting to comfortable and possibly messing something up. Keeps us on our toes.<br /><br />And I will be sure to keep a weather eye out for that line to be sure, Raquel.Mel Chesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200734886454147170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10722111911442589.post-89601584450059460362010-04-05T09:38:48.429-07:002010-04-05T09:38:48.429-07:00Second guessing is my cryptonite!

I sometimes wonder if it's really worth all the effort, despite trying to convince myself every day that it is. Maybe I'm not good enough?<br /><br />And even so, I know that no matter what happens I will still end up loving it and doing it forever - and then I doubt why I love it. Am I kidding myself? Am I spending all this time in front of my computer, sacrificing time away from loved ones all for nothing?<br /><br />I also doubt that I will be a good mother. I am not one yet, but would love to be, but wonder whether I'm cut out for it.<br /><br />Yes, it's hard. Doubt floats above my head like static hair.Jessica Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889900730906728317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10722111911442589.post-7828289437663930452010-04-05T07:33:36.822-07:002010-04-05T07:33:36.822-07:00Ah yes.
