While going through some papers today, I came across a quote I had saved from Craig Phillip's blog www.secondchancetolive.wordpress.com
"I no longer need to be perfect, just willing to keep my side of the street clean."
After a lifetime of trying to be perfect and failing miserably......
After a lifetime of being disappointed because nobody else seemed any better at it than me.....
After a lifetime of imposing unrealistic expectations on myself and everybody I cared about.....
I can finally take joy in being true to Craig's statement.
This has been the most freeing achievement of my life.
