Well, my daily blogging aspiration for 2013 was a lofty goal. Here are some things I didn't take into account: The Stomach Flu. Family Vacation. Really Important Work Projects. Family Obligations. Messy House. To simply name a few.
But the goal wasn't to write a blog, it was to write a daily blog so that I could have something extraordinary to report at the end of the year. So, I was faced with a question, "What do you do when perfect isn't an option?"
I'm not sure that anyone would actually notice if I had let the blog fade out. I'm not sure that anyone would care if I wrote a post and picked up where I left off. But I felt strongly that I had to acknowledge my absence, my failure to achieve the perfection I had aspired to when I started the blog, but also, my decision to acknowledge what is now imperfect but still worthwhile.
It happens, right? There is nothing wrong with striving for perfection and achieving great. I'm not certain that I'm achieving great, but I'm thrilled to be trying. And I won't know until the end of the project what I've really achieved. And maybe it will be great, and if it is, that will be just perfect.
I hold true to the fact that there is no "perfect" - it's only what WE think is perfect...
