Is it possible to be perfect? I always thought it was - oh the lessons we learn as we age...I realize now that I wouldn't want to be perfect, that it's okay to have imperfections and problems. The old adage that "Life's not about the destination, it's about the journey." It took me a good long while to learn that but now that I have it is helping me R E L A X a little... (a little) Life is more like that bowl of cake batter there...messy and mixed up and at times it's like the 4 layer cake, it's put together and wonderful and satisfying!
Oh I still strive for perfection and find faults in all things I do - dinner was not quite "right", too much of this or that, cuz I am mostly a "this and that" cook - I print and read and save plenty of recipes, but I tweak each and every one - sometimes for the good, sometimes not. But thinking back on my Mom's (also a this and that cook) cooking, I loved everything she made - I don't remember anything she cooked that I didn't like - to me, her loving daughter, it was PERFECT!
I will admit - I achieved 2 perfections in the last week - and my latest baking project, "Red Velvet Cake" It was 4 layers of "from scratch" goodness!
and this simmering pot of Potato Soup that warmed our souls on a rainy night!
and this simmering pot of Potato Soup that warmed our souls on a rainy night!Okay, I'm off to enjoy my day full of "this and that", faults, imperfections and problems, but I know it will be a day also filled with love, hugs and kisses, realizations, and a semi perfect dinner!
Will you find perfection in your world today? Don't count on it - enjoy the imperfections -it's much easier that way!
crap. you just bursted my bubble. you mean there is no perfection to be found? are you sure? i strive for it every.single.day.
