My theme ~ Lessons Learned. I’ll be posting a word that begins with each letter of the alphabet that fits my theme. This blog/website has become one way to share about myself to my children, my grandchildren and my extended family who are scattered all over the country and the world. Hopefully, anyone who reads this will be in some way blessed by my throwing my words out onto the World Wide Web and into the Universe.
My About Page gives me the focus so that, as I age, I don’t forget what I worked so hard to learn. It’s going to be fun and challenging! I hope you’ll stick with me as I strive to meet my goal!!

“Want to be happy? Stop trying to be perfect.”

Trying to be perfect keeps us from really finding joy in our lives. Whether it comes from the way we’ve been raised as a child or from our expectations of ourselves now as adults, perfectionism holds us back from spontaneity and being more emotionally responsive to others. “Have no fear of perfection, you’ll never achieve it.” Salvador Dali

“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life.”

Agree totally. What a waste of life being a perfectionist fearing criticism and failure!

Yes, we’ll never achieve perfection and there’s a lot of joy in just getting out there and living.
