In her infinite wisdom and amazing timing, Li shared this little blog with me. I know she sent it after I relayed the events of the hectic weekend from hell which I will write about soon...probably.
The blog entry she sent is called "Radical Imperfection: Holiday Edition" and is found on the blog "Buffalo Tracts". The entire entry is wonderful. But the final message really struck a chord and is something I must remember.
So maybe I can cut myself a little slack. Maybe I can decide that this
is a good chance to re-embrace my radical imperfection, and to start
writing a little mental speech about how our flaws are what make us
beautiful, just in case either of the nieces calls me on that little
glue smear I couldn’t quite rub out. Maybe I can allow myself yet again
to be human, to be accessible, to be a really good example of someone
who made a really good effort and didn’t really make it to the
mountaintop but people really loved her anyway.
Good stuff. Really, really good stuff.
