hot cocoa and snowflakes

So I am sitting here drinking hot cocoa as the snow comes down outside, and enjoying what are likely the last few minutes before little guy wakes up. The active almost-8-month-old who made two new accomplishments yesterday – pulling himself up to a perfect sitting up position and getting on his knees with his arms up on the first step of the stairs! As I sip from our honeymoon mug from Gatlinburg, TN {we collect mugs from our travels}, I think about our 3 years and three days married, two kids {one baby in heaven}, the house project 2/3 done, my relocated dislocated shoulder that I will get checked out tomorrow, and how I should write more. But can’t. I have lots of posts written out in my head but somehow there’s a blockage between what I want to say and actually getting it typed out on a bright, white screen. And I really shouldn’t use the word ‘can’t’…  And it bothers me that I don’t have the perfect image for this post, because, you know, that’s what the perfect post on the perfect blog must have.  Maybe it’s my perfectionist self taking creativity hostage with the lies that I can’t write funny enough, don’t have just one main niche and am so technologically impaired that it is impossible for me to have a good looking blog.  Maybe just admitting it to others will help.  I have to remember that 80% done and shared is better than 100% perfect in my head!

Here’s to imperfection, fresh starts, and SPRING!  …Right after this snowstorm.

Today I’ll celebrate the little victories – like getting a blog post published!
