secret message of the day

Today is the start of Shimelle's Blogging for Scrapbookers class.
I have been thinking seriously about blogging for months now. Not so much to do with scrapbooking proper, but more to do with recording my thoughts, feelings, ideas, and life. The daily life stuff. The stuff that is so quickly and easily forgotten but if remembered becomes the cherished stuff.
I am going to go easy on myself with this blogging endeavor. I have a tendency to want to do things {perfectly} according to that picture of perfection that lives in my head. I am slowly realizing that my picture and my reality don't always mesh and I am too hard on myself when I don't meet the {perfection} expectation. That tends to lead to failure and self-doubt, both things that I am working hard to accept and overcome.
So, perfect is NOT my goal with this blog.
My goal is to do it when I do it. No rules, no expectations, no opportunity for failure.
And, I just dig this motto "You really can do whatever you want."
Here's to blogging...
Awesome, just completely perfect!

ReplyDeleteLovely post & great motto! Good luck with class!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fellow classmate and I liked your comment about not expecting your blog to be perfect. I think you are so right, to expect perfect sets us up for failure. Anyway who defines perfect? It's our own personal blog, we are the boss. I think you will do just fine.
