Perfect

As long as I can remember, I have striven for perfection. I am not entirely sure where exactly this came from. Someday I may talk to a shrink and see what they think .. or maybe not.

Wanting everything to be perfect all the time is really tiring. It also brought out some OCD tendencies. This wasn't so bad when I was first married or even after our 1st bouncing baby boy. BUT 2 babies under 2 ripped my seemingly perfect world into pieces.

In the past 4-5 years, as my boys have grown, I have seen areas in their lives that are already affected by my drive for perfection, especially in Patrik. This has made me sad. It has also made me work on this battle in myself and to slowly let go of that constant 'NEED' to have everything perfect. It takes away from my kids and is unhealthy for me.

I like this song because it reminds me to step back and look at what is important to me. And my beautiful babies are indeed perfect gifts to me!
