Thank God for girl-time with Becca! We have so much fun that I am near convinced it must be sinful. But, so long as I'm headed to hell, at least I'll be in good company.

Come on weekend!

Hold on, baby, you're losing it
The water's high, you're jumping into it
And letting go... and no one knows
That you cry, but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone

I wrote a post a little bit ago indicating I wasn't feeling great, and would get back to posting once I was feeling better. Then I deleted it. But, the intention is still there. So, if you haven't seen me around in what seems like weeks...well, that is because I haven't been around. But for what it's worth, I've thought about you!

passing a message along

If the best man's faults were written on his forehead, it would make him pull his hat over his eyes.
--Gaelic proverb

When we deal with our faults and imperfections, we are dealing with the basic issues of being a person. We can become bitter and cynical about the imperfections of others, or we can realize every person is incomplete but growing, just as we are. The way we look at the faults in others and the way we look at our own are closely tied together. In our spiritual journey, we must begin with the premise that no person ever achieves perfection.

Perfection apparently is not what this life is about at all, since perfection is nonexistent. We are lovable, and we can love in the process of living our lives. Since we are not perfect, we have to be accountable. We must have standards for our behavior and hold ourselves to those standards, admitting our mistakes and making repairs where we can.

I will try to acknowledge my mistakes and give up the idea of ever becoming perfect.
