Perfectly Imperfect

Well girls. Our event has come and gone and I can’t thank you enough for all of you who came out. What a blessing you all have been. And yes, I am busily working on new floral arrangements and getting all the new items priced for this next event. It is coming up next week. Oh my goodness!!!!

While I was scouring my Pinterest account, I came across an article that so blessed me. The main theme was, “It doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.”

You know? My greatest lessons I’ve learned were from circumstances that were far less than perfect. So this week as I run from here to there, I keep reminding myself that it doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful. While I am traveling to funeral of someone who died way to young, I have to remind myself that even though I have a million products to get ready, my shop doesn’t have to “be perfect to be beautiful.” While I hop on the plane to go to a conference to benefit my son and his friends who are special needs adults, I remind myself, my shop doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful. When I look at my floors that need to be swept and the dusting that needs to be done, I remind myself that my home “doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful. As I sit around our Easter table, I have to remind myself that the food doesn’t have to be “beautiful to be perfect.” And as I interact in circumstances with people who irritate me, I remind myself, “They don’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.”

And I have to remind myself, “I don’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.” What a relief.
