Do you believe it? I sure have a hard time accepting my enough-ness. I am perpetually striving to do better and be better in all areas of my life. I aspire to be a better wife, a better mom, a better daughter, sister, in-law, friend, member of my community. On top of that, there is so much I want to accomplish and do too. Grow my business, create, cook and bake more, travel, learn about the bajillion topics I find intriguing. Unfortunately, my striving often leads to feelings of failure. And when the days come, the ones when my only accomplishment is managing to keep my three children and myself alive until the next day, accepting my enough-ness is hard.
But accept it we must. If we stay down, down in the muck of our shortcomings and imperfections, it’s harder to get back up. One lousy moment leads to two, one day into more and then we are just wasting time.
No one is perfect. No one does it all. So believe it. On the good days and the on the lousy days, the days when we aren’t our best self, the days where we just survived, we are enough.
