Imperfections

I watched her enjoying the morning sunrise with a cup of coffee or tea

I need to live for acceptance and joy in the unique, worthy, lovable, beautiful, sacred, being that I am and to tolerate the same thing in others…I’m learning to love my imperfections; in the end, they make me who I am, in all my flawed glory.

    What a great environment to enjoy your morning drink and a beautiful sunrise! We’re usually not very accurate judges of what we think are our own imperfections. Sometimes, what we deem an imperfection might be a hidden strength in a different light or even an inspiration for someone else. You’ve just got to accept it and work at loving yourself because you’ll never be perfect.

      Absolutely and I think you are saying the same thing. I am learning to love myself! Thank you, my friend!! Maybe this idea of perfection is really just working at loving ourselves and others and being all that we can be.

    Monte and Earl. It’s great to see that you guys are still around, still posting! I’ve still got my camera in hand and still write, but it’s more of a personal, daily nature now, but I still like to stop by, lurk, and see what you guys are doing. 😀

      Absolutely wonderful to hear from you, Paul. I’m glad to know that you still have your camera in hand and are still writing and I hope you continue with both. They are important tools in my life. And I can tell you it does not bother me that you still lurk around.
