I found this fabulous gem on one of my new favorite blogs, The Joyful Mother. What a fabulous quote to keep in mind as we start the new year! Did you know that perfectionism is a form of self abuse? It is. The whole “striving and never arriving” thing is the perfect recipe for frustration and later, helplessness (code verbage for depression).
In fact, it’s a very unhealthy standard to set for our kids. I’m telling you this because I am constantly reminding myself. I never want my own daughter to strive for perfection-just her personal best.
Enjoy! That’s all for today from this cold mom, folks. It was a brisk 40 degrees here when we woke up this morning. What??!!
