This photo suits my mood this morning. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted. And the reason? That addiction/condition called perfectionism. Couldn’t post if I didn’t have time to do it “right” or if I wasn’t in the correct mood or if I didn’t have time to write each word with precision. Yet whose judgement is it that I crave? And what happens if I continue to get in the way and keep spirit and soul from permeating the “work”?
And I do just that.
So here I am. Again. And with me come these two magnificent pictures of clouds, just as they are. And all is well.

Hello!
Bad mood on the horizon coming in or clear sky and sunshine returning? :<)
From one perfectionist to another:
If we wait until things are "perfect" to do something, we may miss out completely and never have the opportunity to do that thing at all. We can be our own worst enemy. Don't take that chance dear friend.
Glad to see you back. Great photos! Wishing you an everything good week! :<)
Hugs,
Barbara Diane
I’m glad you let go of perfectionism and wrote a little something. I always enjoy your posts.
Thanks, Barbara and Lisa, for your encouragement.
Perfectionism is such a seductive thing. I know when it has me in its grip as I become dysfunctional, but I don’t always recognize the first stages.
Maybe I should make a little character with red flags that it can start waving when I go over the line from “job well done” to “obsessive”.
