When Good Enough Is
I‘ve never been one to settle. When it comes to my writing, good enough never is. Every word is chosen with great intention. But you know where good enough really is? When you’re doing chores.
I cleaned the house this morning in half the time it usually takes me by lowering my standards significantly. And guess what. The house looks great. No one will ever notice all the little corners I cut because it really doesn’t make a lick of difference. Lesson learned.
Now I’m going to stop blogging and make use of these few hours I just earned myself. Tah.
