Dear Miss Peapod,
Today's lesson is about being a perfectionist--don't be one. Not that it's not great to strive for success because it is, but there is a difference in setting goals to succeed and setting goals too high for anyone other than the Lord to reach. Don't be like me in this regard. I wake in the morning to remember the failures and mistakes of the day before rather than arise to think of the good the Lord can do through me for the day. I dwell on the "what might have beens" rather than the "what can I do today to better tomorrow." As your PawPaw sang, and yes this is a borrowed lyric, "Lord, it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way..." I am not perfect, and my mistakes are limitless. But, I look at you, my sweet, shiny, gassy peapod, and I know I created the most perfect thing possible (with the help of the good Lord and your daddy of course). If only I could stop dreading my failures and remember as long as I have you, I am perfect.
Love you perfectionista,
Mommy
