Who Wants To Be Perfect??

I have a friend that writes a blog. She is actually one of my blogging friends that inspired me to start my own. It's a great blog and she has thousands of readers every day. You should check it out, AFTER you read mine. *winks*

I read her blog every morning and yesterday was no exception. I felt like she could have put "Dear Shannon" in the title of her most recent post. It spoke directly to me. She talked about how no one is perfect and we all make mistakes.

I sent her an email, thanking her. Although the message in the post was a concept I was very familiar with (the gentle, or not so gentle, reminder was vital at the time), it was her return email that truly made an impact.

"I think,as women, we are all pretty hard on ourselves when we aren't "perfect".
Let me tell ya...perfect is boring. Messy is interesting...
Glad you liked the blog.
Hang in there.
Get messy."

Perfect is boring...messy is interesting. What a concept!!!! This is a principle that I will prescribe to from now on. I make mistakes and I have to quit beating myself up about them. God forgives me...I need to forgive me.

Thank you, my dear friend, for the reminder that no one is perfect and why would they want to be?

Get messy? Don't mind if I do...
