I've always strived to be a perfectionist, it's a struggle I have prayed about. I'm not perfect, I never will be, and the truth is this I don't want to be. I want to be me, I want to be perfectly imperfect. Yesterday I was talking with a friend who was feeling inadequate, she is of course not at all inadequate but to cheer her up I sent her these pictures of my kitchen
Isn't a lovely mess? Well I was embarrassed but I did it anyways. She needed to see my mess too. It did make her chuckle, which I was happy about. Here is the thing I saw after really looking at these pictures, paint brushes from painting and making projects with the kids, canning dishes in the sink from canning peaches with one of our daughters, and the K cups are just a real picture of the laziness my husband and I felt about walking 20 feet to the trash!
These pictures are reality, the pictures of memories! So honestly live your life perfectly imperfect. Enjoy the messes. I'm sure trying!
These pictures are a more accurate description of the mess and boy was it fun!
