Sometimes I struggle daily with myself. Sometimes, no matter what I feel like I'm biologically wired to see the negative, instead of the positive. Self confidence and believing in myself often take a beating. One such example happened yesterday. Instead of burying into this like I normally do, I'm going to write about it and shine the light of day on this struggle in my life.
What may seem like a routine repair to some, is like an accomplishment the size of flying to the moon for me. Our pool pump motor had gone out in the lightening storm a couple of nights ago. After much time trying to figure out what I needed to do and not wanting to spend any more money than we absolutely needed to, I realized I had to replace the motor.
I'm not a mechanical person and I dislike doing repair work so much that I'd rather not do it. On top of that, I'm often afraid that I will just mess things up and so I can talk myself out of doing the repair work quicker than a snake can shed its skin. Ugh.. I hate that analogy. However, I am usually able to figure out many things and will generally find a way to fix something, within reason of course.
