Hi Everyone:

My old thread has been locked. I need to respond to some posts on that thread this evening.

This is a new thread with a new theme. I want balance. I want to minimize angst. I want a non-platonic R someday (there I said it!). I want to feel better about work and always being behind.

All this involves battling this perfection thing!!!!

My C told me a long time ago that the standard is GOOD ENOUGH!

I need to work on being good enough. Which necessarily involves facing the possibility of disappointing - sigh..another one of my demons - people pleasing....

Sigh....I need an easier goal - seeking a yacht on the Mediterranean complete with a chef, a masseuse, and a yoga instructor.

I am still working through a backlog of work. And at times I am paralyzed by the need to generate "perfect" work and knowing that I am missing non-legal deadlines which is not fatal but is also "not perfect."

My cats are gloriously happy with the nice weather. The male cats are engaging in nocturnal killing rampages.... I really hate cleaning up the presents they bring home and display on my patio. It is really icky.
On a happier note, my weeping cherry is blooming and looks beaoooootiful! And my gnawed down to the ground variegated forsytia has a few new leaves - so it is alive! AND my daffodils have pushed up through between a gap created by overlapping landscape fabric. I will have to cut them free so they can bloom! A very nice little surprise!

Life is good!

take care,
AG
