Mostly because if there were not very real, very good, reasons to fear, we would not be afraid to begin with. Bravery is always about doing something that is in defiance of the facts.

Facts like: My home is still a nightmare; spotted carpets, broken lino on the floors, peeling and chipping paint, stained sinks, torn furniture, smashed up window blinds, and even a couple of broken windows for luck.
But it is tidy. Well closer to tidy than it has been in years. Each step that has gotten me here has been in G-ds grace. And it is “tidy enough” to receive guests.
It is not magazine perfect, it is not even “before” photo acceptable. But true bravery is about accepting the truths of a situation, and still proceeding. A dinner party? Hosting Erev Shabbat for all my dearest sisters....... AM I CRAZY? yes.
