I see people in relationships seeking perfection in their mates and often wonder who could live with a perfect mate?

I just finished reading "Be a Perfect Person in Three Days," by Stephen Manes with my third graders. It's the best kid's book out there on this subject. In the end, Milo learned that perfect is as boring as drinking weak tea! If you have young ones in your life, this chapter book is worth checking out.<br /><br />http://joycelansky.blogspot.comCatch My Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338761214938263819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-90076442575274004982013-09-27T19:05:45.249-04:002013-09-27T19:05:45.249-04:00What a truly lovely comment.

It's a good thing to be working toward be a better person, but I also believe we need to accept who we are and understand our strengths while accepting our own weaknesses. I will never be a world class anything; not because I can't, but because I don't want that. I just want to find and share happiness and good health and I want love, always. I want to give it and I want to have it. <br />There's no room for perfection in that dream sequence.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-42326305088069080102013-09-25T16:56:12.741-04:002013-09-25T16:56:12.741-04:00Whew!!!
