Life

I have been remiss.

Lately, I have been disappointed with myself, as much as I have been with other people in my life. It’s been dragging my sorry ass down and Feisty, along with a lot of other more important things, have suffered as a result.

My apologies. Seriously, my apologies.

There comes a time in each of our adult lives when we just have to face up to life’s challenges, stake our claims, and move on.

Perfection is an ideal and those kinds of ideals are luxuries. They are fine and grand if individuals have the time, opportunity, and energy to contemplate them, but life is about living, making mistakes, and moving on, as well as finding ways to live with those mistakes.

I know this is not going to make a great deal of sense to anyone, but me. I just needed to say it out loud, so to speak.

Oh, one more thing, I'm putting regret into the same category as perfection. Another one of those luxuries I no longer have the time for.

I'm sorry you are going through a rough time of it. I hope things start turning around for you.

It's okay to regret. It's when you begin regretting your regrets that you know you're in trouble. :-)

There are 12-year cycles in life, it seems. We tend to go through big changes at the age of 12, 24, 36, 48, etc. give or take a year. One life and vision ends, a new one begins. Do you happen to be near one of those? If so, I might post more about them. (This is not an astrology thing.)

Ideals should be your goals hun, never any shame or remorse to be had for reaching for them. You should know you deserve to have the best and do the best.

If one day the ideal is out of reach then you just need to re-adjust your sights to make sure you can manage, but never regret having the foresight to see something better and try for it. We just sometimes ask alot of ourselves. x

That's right, Christina! Just do your best and move on.

Don't look back with regret. Look forward with anticipation.
