see below.

i'm trying not to be a perfectionist anymore.

i think that's an oxymoron.

i don't think that you are supposed to try to not be a perfectionist but, what can I say...this is a process. also, i think the word legalist may describe my thinking processes a bit more accurately than perfectionist. either way, the point is that i'm going to try to calm down a bit...not feel like i have to be on top of everything all the time...

i'm going to have a little more fun, take a few more pictures, read a few more books, listen to some more music, and hide some more Word in my heart. burn a few more candles, learn a few new things, cook a few new dishes, and smile a few more times a day. i have a feeling that though i keep using the word "more"...life will feel a little less crazy.

...and i'm not going to try to sound poetic...i'm just going to let Life flow through me.

i'll keep you posted....

pun intended.

i just love you. i've been thinking about this too. "celebrate we will, life is sweet but short for certain."

God delights in the joy of His children. and sometimes that means welcoming in unconventionality and chilling out about things just a little bit. and usually that means NOT being on the ball, and just being a big, beautiful mess. (not undisciplined, just messy)

we will catch up soon. promise. thank you for being honest.
