Perfection

Nothing is ever perfect. The grass is never really greener. Life is what you make of it.

It can be great, boring, fun or sad. I've had a little of all. I've been sad enough that I needed to walk away. Back then I didn't know if it was the right decision or not. I was scared. I worried about things I wasn't sure I could control or fix. I just did what in my heart I felt I had to do.

I can look back on those days. I can remember making myself sick with stress. Not being able to eat. Just feeling so young, alone and unsure.

The changes I made weren't just good for me, they were good for my kids too. I'm forever grateful for what I have now. Even when the days don't seem so perfect. They may not be perfect right then, but I think I have plenty of almost perfect days to make up for the ones that aren't.

Just feeling fortunate tonight.
