Do what you can.

There's so many problems, so much uncertainty about the future, it can sometimes feel overwhelming and you just shut down. If you have a counter full of dishes, even if you wash one dish you've technically made the situation better. Marginally sure, but still in the right direction. And if that's where you can focus your attention it might provide some momentum to finish all of them. But if not, that's fine too, you still made the situation a little better and sometimes that's the best we can hope for.

Hope you find what you're looking for.

And even if it turns out to be, we'll only really know in hindsight.

"Every task before you is a challenge to succeed." It's from "Moment to Moment" by a band called Children 18:3. Great song.
