MARY LAMPHERE AUTHOR

I’m way past the letter D in The Writer’s Alphabet, and when I was there, D was for Discover, which is much more optimistic than D being for Doubt, but in my head right now, well, I am doubtful.

Full of doubt. That’s bad, right?
A smidge of doubt in most situations is inevitable, I think.
If we stop to think about it, I bet we all have that seedling buried somewhere in our brains.

Relationship solid?
Work steady?
Kids safe?

Good, good, good.

Well, there is that one thing…

We worry, we rally, we rationalize.
It’s part of being human.
We feel, we fail, we function.

Doubt is a personal issue…one man’s “oh, crap” is another’s “yeah, baby!”

I don’t have any answers here.
I’m battling my own doubts, those growing seedling demons.
I tell myself this too shall pass.
And it will.

–And on the other side, I will be better for it.

In the end, it’s all good.
