There is a wonderful poem about "Good Enough." I will post it someday.
I know that reply sounds snotty, but I assume you wanted truthful answers! :)
I don't thnk you're snooty, but at what point do you stop and say this is good. I know about self- pressure and what it'll do to a person. How much pressure to you put on yourself to do your best? I've had to learn to accept that as long as I did my best that that is good enough. Do you get what I mean? I want things to look nice and I want to always do my best, but when it isn't perfect, I have learned to draw the line and say "that's my best for now."
I'm glad you agree, but it was Ragann who asked if we thought she is snotty.:o) I agree with her, but I do think there is a limit.
