August 5--Easy Does It

Give yourself permission to be less than perfect. Your precious and messy enough-ness is what makes you uniquely you.  --Mary Davis

    I have limited internet and cell phone service for a while, so posts will be rather short. 
    I've been presented lately in several of my regular daily readings with the topic of perfectionism. Coincidence? I think not. Perfectionism was ingrained in me from an early age, so practicing acceptance of my imperfection is a lifelong effort. It is interesting to me that some of my imperfections are more OK than others. For example, my physical imperfection (SLOW recovery from sciatica) is totally annoying, but my complete lack of fashion sense doesn't even phase me. 
    I'm thinking that it wouldn't be a bad idea for us all to lighten up, especially toward ourselves.
