Embrace the imperfection

I had an ah-ha moment the other day in having home therapy with my hubby. Do you have that? I say that with a laugh but I’ve started thinking of some of our talks as that. Home therapy. Instead of the same old scripts we are working on changing things so that we aren’t continually having the same old conversation. It’s that work in progress thing…

Anyway, he was happier a few months ago and trying to get there again. When I think about how he was searching to get back there I realized he was moving sideways, almost back to get there. He needed to move  forward, leave the past in the past. It’s better to be moving forward then stuck. This ramble all relates to my resolution thinking too because I want to embrace the imperfection. I’ve tried so long to fix it. I need to stop with the whining, stop with excuses, move forward. I’m always going to start too many projects. I’m always going to put things off. I’m always going to make a mess that I should have cleaned up before going on to the next thing. I need to just roll my eyes at myself and move forward.  If I can stop letting those voices tell me to fix myself maybe I might actually get somewhere. So next  time they start talking to me I’m going to pretend they are saying, Get off your butt and move forward!

I’ve even started. I made some plans to have ladies come scrapbook for 3 days next week. Make a mess leave and it and get things done! I’ve sewn 2 whole quilts that have been sitting around for a year. I’ve even cut the next one. I’ve ditched a few things and rearranged a few things. I’m going with production now! I’m still “cleaning and clearing” which I know for me is an excuse to not start playing with “art” but I’m going to let this soothe my soul for a smidge longer.
