It's a focus transition day for me with the guideposts I'm trying to be conscious of right now. This past week has been practice loving-kindness. The coming week? Embrace imperfection.
Embrace imperfection.
Wow. That's a hard one for any of us. It's incredibly tough for someone who may have a few perfectionistic tendencies (not that I fall in that description) and who functions in a culture that discourages weakness of any sort (surgeons are like that? really?).
Embrace imperfection.
I think it's best that practicing loving-kindness was the focus preceding this one. I may need a double dose of loving-kindness to get my brain around this.
Happiness/ Gratitude list, 22 June 2008
- Seeing the sun rise this morning. Granted, it was because I was just leaving work...but it was beautiful.
- Spending 5 minutes giving myself a nice foot massage before crawling into bed at 6:30 a.m. I figured I had earned it in the prior 24 hours.
- My loyal feline companions who were both more than willing to sleep most of the day with me.
- Spending time with friends who I just don't get to see often enough. Even with the chaos of the little ones (which I consider good chaos), I had a wonderful supper tonight.
- In the context of the same supper, getting to spend time being 3 1/2 years old. It's both a happy and awesome place. The world is so big....
