IMPERFECTION

"IMPERFECTION IS BEAUTY, MADNESS IS GENIUS & IT'S BETTER TO BE ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAN ABSOLUTELY BORING."

-MARILYN MONROE

Last night, a 6 year old painted my toenails.

I watched her little fingers, wobbly and desperate to stay within my toenail lines.

I also watched Fuchsia Pink polish spread all over the skin between my toes.

I watched as she only painted half the nail on some of the toes.

I was cringing inside, thinking: "Man! I can't wait to take this off and do it 'right'..."

"THERE YOU GO!" She announced to me with a huge smile on her face, "I am REALLY good at painting nails."

I stared at her confidence and I was jealous for a second that somewhere along my way, I lost my ability to be smile and be confident, even when things aren't perfectly inside the lines.

So, I decided... to leave my toenails the way SHE painted them because she IS really good at painting toenails! I look down at my toes multiple times a day, and I laugh and I LOVE that they aren't perfect.

I set a goal... it's probably the 100Th time I've set this goal... but, I want to be OKAY with imperfection!! I'm going to TRY to leave a rug crooked, or go to bed with the dishes piled up in the sink... or to allow my toenails to remain a beautiful little mess because a six year old was so proud of herself!



I'm off to enjoy my weekend with Husband.
