Not perfect

I set up this blog to post all the non-perfect events I come across. After I set it up it took me over a week before I even tried to write something. Why you may ask. Good question! I wanted my first one to be PERFECT. For thousands to read and go WOW! After a week of sitting with the lap top in front of me trying to find something to talk about it was like a light bulb went off *ding*. The whole reason I am writing is to show everyone (or at least the one or two people who might happen to read this) that you don't have to be perfect...... you just have to try.

  So speaking of reality checks......here I sit still in my pj's with the computer in my lap and my ever growing to-do list sitting next to me. All I can think is how much I need to do and it is never enough time to get it all done. Ever feel like no matter how much you try it is never enough? I know I do. For me no matter how hard I work around the house, or how hard I work at my job, or how much I do for my kids..... I feel like I could still have done more. If I didn't take my shower that day I could have rearranged my kitchen cabinets. Or if I didn't sit down to eat lunch I could have scrubbed out my fridge. But in reality I needed to take that shower and I needed to eat lunch. So I have to have the reality check that it may all never get 100 percent completed but sooner or later my ever growing to-do list will be completed.

  I have never been one to put make-up on and make sure my hair is in the latest fashion style. But recently I realized I need to stop being "a hot mess" and take the time to make sure I look nice. So on my daily to-do list I make sure I put "do hair and make-up". I may not always look perfect and I will probably still look like a hot mess every once in awhile.... but at least I am trying. And in reality that's all I can ask myself to do. If I keep trying then at least I am better then I was this time last year or even last month. This is what I am encouraging everyone who reads this : No matter how long your to-do list is or how much of a hot mess you are please remember you are NOT perfect! But as long as you are trying that is all that counts.

Thank you for reading this :)
