Perfectionism

 What is up with me? Why can't I start something and finish it? Why do I feel like I need all of the right things and everything has to be perfect? 

Today I have been thinking a lot about this and why I haven't started some things. For example, I think about my family history book about women. I do research and have a vision, but I just can't get started because I want to find the right album and I want to do these women justice. What colors do I want to use? Does there have to be a format? Ugh!

I just need to take the Nike attitude and do it!!! Write the damn story and decorate it! Get on the road and move forward.

In the beginning

 
I've kept a blog off and on since 2007, but I have never kept up with them and then in 2019, things in my life got so busy that I just quit blogging and writing. Today I woke up and felt alive and creative and had this need to write and write. I don't know if I have any wisdom to share or if anyone cares, but I need to do this for me and that is okay. I have been consistent with four things over the past few months so I feel like I can do this and keep up with it: Using Day One, playing Wordle with my son in law, posting on The Awesome Ladies Project and playing Duo Lingo. Even as I am flying and traveling from Detroit to Washington State, I am feeling a need to write and complete my daily exercises that seem to be helping with my mental health.
