Is perfection possible?

I'm learning a lot while molding a blog. I keep thinking of ways to perfect my next post before I push the "Publish Post" button. I will go so far to avoid a mistake and create perfection by putting nothing on the paper, waiting until it is perfected in my head. Therefore, I create nothing, gain nothing and contribute nothing. Who does that serve? I'm only creating madness in my head as I strive for that perfection. I do this with a lot more than blogging. Which, by the way, I'm on day 3 of owning a blog and already have 2 posts. Not too shabby, however, I can only keep this up if I post when I have a thought, experience, idea or struggle even though it is not just as I imagined. Usually, it ends up being better than I imagined, so there's a lesson for me.

This blog will be my practice arena with the whole world to see. I'm pretty confident that I will receive more support than criticism, especially since my husband is the only one that reads this blog right now. Regardless, I will post without perfection, but with contentment as my goal. So I guess the answer to my question is; No, perfection is not possible, but contentment is. I'm not even sure if I structured that sentence correctly with the semi-colin and capitol N...oh, well, I'm content with my post!

Birthday of Born-Awesome blog

I have contemplated starting a blog to track my thoughts and the moments that happen in my life that are worthy of writing down. So many times during a week I think to myself, "Man, I gotta write that down..." Then I think, "I'll remember it..." We'll I don't and I'm tired of forgetting.

There are so many experiences in my life that are blog worthy and I'd like to share them with people I love and also with hopes that it may encourage someone, somewhere. I will not be ashamed, hidden, or scared, so I am going to be open, honest and vulnerable in this blog.
