SO, I continually read my great friend Jessy's blog she writes about her and her wonderful fam. She had posted a very interesting link to another blog that got me writing this one. The following link is to a woman's blog that Jess avidly follows:
There you will find the woman who has inspired many people across the US to post their thoughts on perfection. At the end of the blog there are many inspired men and women posting their pictures as well take a look and join us!
All my life I have been picked on so to speak, prodded at, or nit pitcked to correct my spelling, grammar, punctuation, run on sentences. I have also been made to tuck in my shirt, or untwist my pants, skirt, dress (not that I wear these too often) Cover your mouth, turn to sneezae, say excuse me... as you can see there are probably run ons, spelling erros etc... i am resisting the urge in this blog to corrext (oops) them and show that I know its ok to be imperfext (all the while i correct my spelling and make myself leave th3e original errosr) This blog looks silly and I keep thinking "stefanie you are making yourself look as though you didnt pass english class." Oh well, for once I know its ok to have imprefect typing.
Not only with typing, but in my home, I am trying hard to realize I do not have to be perfect either. My home is cluttered, my laundry is folded in a basket in my room not put a way, but my house isnt DIRTY. I am finding it OK to slack... but a few days later I "nest" and clean clean clean to realize I am over doing it again. ;)
I am going to remind myself today: "I am too busy being a pregnant wife to be 'perfect'."
Yes, being pregnant and a wife is definitely a full plate - take care of yourself and your baby and worry about the rest later (it'll still be there.)
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to be perfect to be beautiful. I blog hopped over from the ordinary courage.
Carrie blog hopped to mine too! :) Love how life continues to connect us in many ways Stef- life is wonderful and beautiful and we are allowing ourselves to enjoy it instead of being perfect which is amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteLove you- J.
I just joined in on Brene's Perfect Protest. (Just found her blog last night, so I wasn't able to snap a picture), but, I know exactly what you mean. Once I hit a 30-something, I began to feel this way.
ReplyDeleteI have learned there is a sense of peace that comes with accepting little imperfections. :D
Have a great weekend!!
oh my goodness, and you're pregnant! laundry can wait!
ReplyDeletegood on you for letting go of perfectionism, it's just picking on ourselves isn't it?
you had me with a pregnant wife...
ReplyDeletethat is worth everything.
the other stuff... blah.
