The thing that is really hard, and really amazing,
is giving up on being perfect
and beginning the work of becoming yourself.

So true frissy, so very, very true. Makes me think of the tea cup (I still have) with the crack in it Shantel gave me and told me how many ways I could use it…remember? Love, hugs & MORE! GH
Love the composition (crop) very much. Great picture to go with the quote. Years ago I stopped trying to be perfect, what you see is what you get. Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes, we are humans and NO angels.

Same here…what you see is what you get! Isn’t it amazing how long it takes us to get to that point?

Astrid is one to quickly say to me, whenever I’m hard on myself, “But Ginnie, you’ll only human!” So true, so true. You’d think we’d get it!
Fabulous image for this post, indeed.

Thank you!! I saw this on one of my trips to Virginia to visit my parents. It made me so curious about the person who owned the apartment!
