Perfection is overrated
Why dot every i or cross every t
Some things do not matter
In the long run

Why crumble the paper
and toss it in the trash
Before you're finished
Keep writing
Life is short
Live it with zest
No one really is expecting perfection
Be yourself
That should be good enough
If someone is looking for your imperfections
They are looking past a mountain of their own
That is all I have to say about the matter

I am afraid I am one who likes to see every i dotted and every t crossed, when it comes to grammar. You are right though in other matters perfection is hard to find.  Love, Joyce

Introspection is a great tool to inspection. Looking inward is the greatest gift we can give to all around us. Clean house within first. That should keep us pretty busy where we don't find fault in others. You are so right. Loved this!!!!

perfection may not exist in it's purest form but is it not proper to seek it anyway? as long as we do not trod on those around us in the quest? this piece is food for thought. Thank you for sharing.
