Perfectly Perfect

We can certainly come back to the letter. We certainly will, in fact. Everything seems to circle back to it somehow or another. For now, I can't seem to make myself write about it (ie. I can't seem to write on the blog), so I am going to do myself the favor of steering away from this topic for now.


I've been busy lately. Really, really busy. I've always been a busy person, lots of activities and people to see. I like it that way. I like my life full of people and things to do---in fact, I love it that way. But, now---I'm not so sure how I feel about things. I'm feeling burned out.

I love everything in my life---my sweet husband, family, friends, jobs, going to parties, extracurriculars. I can't imagine giving anything up, but recently I've found myself riding the merry-go-round without the opportunity to get off. Sometimes I do want to get off. I want time for myself to do my own thing.

So, I'm trying to say no, set boundaries, budget time for myself and for my relationship. I know that those are the things that keep me grounded and make my marriage as wonderful as it truly is. I don't want us to get too busy for each other. I don't want things to get in the way. I want to please people so badly sometimes that I get in over my head. I lose sight of what is really important. I wear myself out.

I want to be perfect. I am the stereotypical perfectionist. It can't always be that way. I can't keep killing myself to make it that way. Sometimes you just can't vacuum the house. There are more important things in your life. Don't let them pass you by.

To all of you couples out there, please take some time today for yourself and for your significant other. You'll never regret that you did.
