So many things...

There are so many things going on in my mind at the moment and so much school work to be doing, but I'm here writing instead. It's all about trying to think things through and figuring out what I really want from life (or think I want at the moment).

I do know that I want a munchkin known by the initials HL to keep growing and healthy (being early isn't easy), things to be a bit easier for two of my favorite expectant parents (they are incredibly strong, but still...) and for Russian adoptions to get moving again so two friends can bring their two little boys home! Note to the guy in the sky - these items are non-negotiable!

It would be much easier for so many if the state government simply got their act together, students would always do their homework and people wouldn't have to worry about where their next meal or paycheck was coming from.

Yes, I want perfection for others! Is that too much to ask for? I think not!

Now, for myself - that's another story! My life is full of imperfections that I love, but for once I wish it would make sense at least a little bit! Pretty please!

That's my struggle - I know it's not going to be perfect, but I keep working for that perfection. I don't want to admit that something is done until it's done completely right and then I also don't want to work on something until I have time to do it completely right. It sounds strange I know, but it's something I struggle with. At times, it can hold a person back because if you can't do it perfectly, why do it at all?

So, the new goal is to break things down into segments and focus on those tasks for 15 minutes at a time until they are done! This is going to apply to everything from excercise (although that is a strong area at the moment), to food, to dating, to cleaning and stuff for work. The challenge is to just get started and realize that it is OK not to be perfect (in my mind)! :)

The part that bugs me about this is that I know that others don't expect me to be perfect! Oh goodness!
