31 Days of Wishes

The wonderful and talented individuals Stacy Brice and Heather Hinson have continued with the next logical step from their 30 Days of Thanks event with the 31 Days of Wishes.

My wish for today is for everyone to help themselves to a big dose of self-forgiveness.

Why? For some reason, I am a perfectionist. And, it drives me and others around me crazy. I cannot stand to make mistakes or be less than perfect. When I do make mistakes, because I am ‘so’ not perfect. I spend more time worrying about the affect of that mistake on others. And, as I fret about not making mistakes, it usually causes me to make another because I am so intense on not making one. It usually turns out really okay. And, I find that I am making a much bigger deal out of it than anyone else. In addition, if others were thinking that frequently about me — well, you get the idea!

So, with that leftover turkey, have a nice big helping of self-forgiveness.
