In my mind, I always hold my father up as the standard. He always does things well (in my mind) because he works hard at it, and anything less isn't something he does. My little brother is in his mid- forties and still goes to therapy over this 'issue'. I guess all three of us boys just idolize our father and set our own expectations way too high. We see the good in our work, but the flaws just nag at us.
Yes, you are right Yvonne, I know in my heart you are. The beauty should trample the insecurity right out of there. If I spent even half the energy working harder as I do grumbling and fretting, improvements would be a given.
Thanks for all the kind words; they really do encourage me to strive harder in a good way.
