You are welcome! Thanks for joining in...Hey Connie! You are welcome! Thanks for joining in the conversation. <br /><br />A PRG is a small group of women that form to go through the book: A Mother's Guide to Self Renewal, by Renee Trudeau. If you click on the links in the post that will get you to the website and the book on Amazon. <br /><br />I don't have perfectionist tendencies because I'm lazy and for the most part if I can get my own stuff done, the rest of the world be damned. I realize that this is an attitude that most women don't have. Honestly, sometimes it gets me in more trouble than it's worth.

I was going to say "great post," but now I'm going to say "great conversation," especially as I feel I'm joining in it, even if it's just in my head! I've been thinking about these ideas a lot, including how to cur my own damn perfectionist tendencies [really? you don't have these? that's awesome]now that I have a 10-month-old.<br /><br />Thanks for the terrific post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928691692997483316.post-74896663989797110592010-03-13T10:11:03.268-06:002010-03-13T10:11:03.268-06:00Hey Tareeshia, Yes, I remember talking about this ...Hey Tareeshia, Yes, I remember talking about this movie. I agree that life is best enjoyed when you think about what you are doing instead of what needs to be done. <br /><br />I love that quote too. :)<br /><br />I like to break down even more and just think, "do better." Sometimes instead of trying to do our best if can just do better, that's enough. <br /><br />This makes me think of our dictionary days. :)Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179017575408367896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928691692997483316.post-68137695417113801212010-03-12T06:50:34.576-06:002010-03-12T06:50:34.576-06:00Did I ever tell you about the movie "How to c...Did I ever tell you about the movie "How to cook your life?" When you are chopping the onions chop the onions. When you are washing the dishes, wash the dishes. Do not think about what else needs to be done or how long it is taking. There is a peace in concentrating on the task at hand.<br />My good enough is that I am raising my kids the best way I know how. And while I am raising them, I am raising them. I am not chastising myself for not losing the 10 lbs of baby weight, not fretting over my university degree that isn't being put to use, or any of the other million things I could feel like were passing me by while I am mommy. I think you are right. Once you make a choice, you should stick with it, do your best and never look back. <br />"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.
