Perfectionism
I have a new mantra: "Don't let perfect get in the way of better." I have had to devise this cue to remind me that as a perfectionist, I am also a procrastinator...it can't be done right now unless I have the time to make sure it is done perfectly, right?!?!?
Tonight I have let my perfectionism get in the way of my studying...do I complete the 10 page, 25-extra credit point paper and study for my 4th Exam and Final so that I can prove to be the exemplary student, or do I forgo the extra credit and better use my time to ace my exams, or do I complete the paper for a buffer and not have as much study time for my exams, or...honestly, I can go (and have gone) on for hours with this decision!
Perfectionism is definitely not all it is cracked up to be!

Why Thirty Summers?
My life spans through thirty summers...going on thirty-one, and I hope to live through at least thirty more. Thirty years seems like so many, yet not enough - I know that true wisdom comes with age, but that seems so far away...clarity is just now beginning to show itself in my life.
