Perfectly Imperfect

So I decided to look up a couple of definitions.  I went to www.google.com and typed define perfect. (tip for ya'll, google will define words for you and solve math problems).

Google gave me this:

1. having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be.
2. absolute; complete (used for emphasis).

Well.....  I always wanted to be perfect and now I am!  HAHA.  Let's go deeper

                   having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics

What is required?  What is desirable?  Who determines what is required or desirable?  Elements?  What in the world do they mean by that?  Qualities and characteristics I get...but elements?  So - according to this definition, anyone can be perfect.  It is all relative.  It is what you think is required or desirable and if you have everything that fits those criteria then BAM...you're perfect.

Absolute/complete.  Well, I am absolutely imperfect!  So therefore, I am perfect.  See, I told you that I am perfect.

The second definition to me really isn't a determining factor for perfection because we, as humans, cannot be perfect.  At least not for me.  I cannot possibly have all of the these requirements because I am still learning and becoming me.  I make mistakes ( A LOT OF MISTAKES) and I change.

So -- my weekend post is short, sweet and simple (hey, I just described myself!).  I am PERFECTLY IMPERFECT and I am 100% okay with that!!  

See ya'll on the flip side!

     The other day I stopped and really thought about what my days and weeks are actually made up of.  What exactly do I do 7 days a week, 24 hours a day?  It was the end of a day and I just couldn't figure out why in the world I was so tired.  I mean really, why would I be tired.  I only work one job, have one house.  I started thinking ...maybe I am sick, maybe I need therapy, maybe..just maybe...  oh wait, I know what I need.......I need a stiff drink, a massage and SILENCE.  I then began feeling sorry for myself until I realized, I am not the only person living this "tired" life.  I am pretty sure most (I say most because there are some out there that are well rested and cared for) moms (and there are some dads that are like this...not many but some) live like I do.

     It might be a little hard to follow me because I have been told I have what I call squirrel syndrome.  No, it is not really a syndrome and yes, I coined the phrase.  I know, I'm a genius - right?  See, it is happening already and I have lost my train of thought.  Give me a minute......okay, it's back.  Well, not yet because I have to stop and go take care of something.  I will be right back.

     Did you miss me?  Probably not because this is a blog - not a video so you really didn't even know I was gone.

     The other day I took a road trip with three lady friends.  (I know they will read this -- so, look...I called you all ladies!!  STOP LAUGHING)...   Are we ladies if we do jell-o shots before going on a hike?  Just a hypothetical question - we may or may not have done that.  Anyway, the car ride (about 2 hours) was hilarious.  As we were driving it hit me.   There were four of us and one of our daughters (lucky her, right?).  I am pretty sure we had four different conversations going on and could be a part of each one of them.  I have had many situations like this over the years.  We're moms, right?  We can multi-task and seem sane.  I used the term seem because well... we all have multiple children and if you have given birth and choose to give birth again, you are nuts (in a good way) because that shit hurts.

     My point of this (besides trying to bring some humor into your day) is simple - I have been described by a friend as the title of this post reads...a web browser with 1,000 tabs open.  Somehow, I am able to get a million things done and at the same time.  So are you wondering what my days/weeks are like or can your minds focus in on this one thing and try to figure it out.  I read a meme the other day - forget walking a mile in my shoes, spend a day in my mind and see if you can keep up!

     See ya'll on the flip side!!!

And so it begins

As a young child I had a dream to become a writer.  I wanted to write books, be a journalist and share stories with the world.  Well, that dream got pushed into the never world until recently.

In August 2014 I began a journey to a new me, a healthier and more spiritual me.  Don't get me wrong, I've attended church my entire life.  I have always known there is a God and all that good stuff.  However, I have been on this journey to find my purpose in life.  I don't think I will ever really find the exact purpose of my life because it is ever changing.

Until I became a mother - my purpose was to be a daughter and a friend.  Roles change and so does the direction of our life.

I want to share my journey with you, my readers.  The journey that is life.  Where have I been, where am I now and where am I going.

I hope that you will find this inspiring, uplifting and helpful!  Who knows - maybe I'll finally have that book written I wanted to accomplish.  It's a journey - right?!  You never know which turn you're going to take in life!
