Loved the blog and we need to realize that most of the time, "good enough really is good enough."
"I've wept in the night for the shortness of sight that to someone's needs I've been blind; but I've yet to feel a twinge of regret for being a little too kind." |

Nancy, I so agree . . . I think if we could all be a little more "real" with each other, the world would be a much easier place to be a part of!
Hugs & Blessings,
Brenda

Hi Brenda,
Just hanging around your blog. So true, perfect can be hard to reach sometimes. My Grandma used to say "sometimes pretty near is good enough." Learn to live with that and you won't be so stressed.Then when things are perfect, yippee!

Absolutely lovely post! You're right, there's a lot of competition in the blog world to look perfect. I notice a lot of photos are severely cropped. I always wonder just what did they crop out of the photo? But I'm guilty of doing the same. Pictures of my garden? Sure, but you won't see the Ford 150 lawn ornament that DH is still working on. I try hard to be genuine but it doesn't always happen.

Thanks Brenda! Nope, Mrs. Perfect doesn't exist . . even if there are some who think they are Mrs. Perfect!
I'm a "recovering perfectionist" and I learned lessons . . . in a very traumatic, life-threatened manner, that "perfection" and doing my best are two ENTIRELY different things.
The Lord has wrapped His arms around me and loved me into being the woman He created me to be . . not "Mrs. Perfect".
WOW!! What a relief!!!
Thanks for being you!

well, when we blog we want to make everyone happy and welcome, and we want to share our joy, so maybe we tend to look perfect. Nothing can be further from the truth! We are all in this world together, good and bad days combined. When I blog, I just want everyone else to see what makes me happy and to see their forms of happiness too! Everyone looking at my photos knows that my world is not perfect. But I so enjoy sharing the fun times.

So true mz brenda, so true!
It is easy to be "perfect", talented, lovely via blogland.... but God knows us and our true hearts...
So glad we can smile and say, 'we are not perfect' and be happy none the less...

I am trying to be the person my dogs think I am.
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.
