I deal with a lot of pressure on myself for perfectionism. I like everything "just so", and struggle to just relax and admit I don't have it all together. It's something I'm constantly working on. But in the midst of that I still want to welcome people in, put a kettle on, and be able to sit down with friends and family.
I'm planning to paint that Union Flag and saying to put in my kitchen. I have the canvas, now if I could only find the time!
Love that keep calm poster. I printed the Keep Calm and Carry On when I was going through a difficult time and posted it where I could see it as a reminder.
ReplyDeleteYou're not the only one who wants things "just so" but feels as though they fall a little short. People who love you do just that, they love you regardless.
Can't believe Nora's going to be one already! Where does the time go!!
I love that! I think I need a sign like that, too.
ReplyDeleteHave a good time with your brother! I haven't seen my family in almost a year and I miss them terribly.
ReplyDeleteI love the original Keep Calm poster ("Keep Calm & Carry On"). Like you, I'm a perfectionist that hates when everything isn't "just so". And I'm not sure I'm physically or mentally able to ever fully relax (except when on holiday, perhaps). I think as women we are just hardwired that way!
