mixed up monday: rainy day
The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Sometimes, when I’m diving into a new creative project, raindrops and gray skies morph into a mirror of my own doubts
Splish.
Why did this seem like such a good idea?
Splash.
How will I even make this happen?
Drip.
Do I even know what “this” is?
Drop.
Should I keep going or abandon ship?
My go-to remedy for rambling questions on a rainy day? Turn up some puddle-splashing music and remember Longfellow’s advice. Let it rain.
