And whether or not anyone reads my posts, it's therapeutic for me, both in the process of writing as well as the looking back on it later. It's worth it.<br /><br />A woman in our ward growing up once said that her mantra in life was this: "If it's worth doing at all, it's worth doing poorly." My mom loved that phrase. I, on the other hand, held tight to my perfectionist ways and really detested that phrase. It made me angry because I couldn't understand at the time why you would ever do something poorly when you could work a little harder and do it perfectly. Oh, how my young mind had NO idea the realities of life yet.<br /><br />Over the years, the older I get, the more busy and complicated and full my life gets, the more I understand and appreciate Sister Mitchell's mantra. Something is better than nothing. And that something will be good enough someday. And you'll be glad you can look back on something, rather than nothing.<br /><br />So keep it up, whenever you can. Do it for yourself now and do it for yourself and your kids later. :)<br /><br />eclaireshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16970152801443813440noreply@blogger.com
