Ambitions

I have always looked at the ladies I had wanted to be like. They are the ones who keep a clean house (all the time), their books all in order so they know just where it is when it is called upon, and never seem to have a bad word or thought about anything. Now that I am nearly a “lady” myself I recognize that the way these people appeared to be really cannot be true. No one can be perfect and even if they were trying to be perfect they would just go crazy with their inability to do so. Therefore, so as to keep my sanity, I have decided to no longer seek perfection but to sent limits and goals for myself. Such as to read all the books I have put into my ever-growing list, try to keep the dirty clothes off the floor (sometimes I must confess this goal is not reached), be kind to people even if they did not show kindness to me, and try to make the best of everything and everybody I come across. Sometimes I am tested. Sometimes people do not show kindness and I want to scream or lash out. At other times I have had a long day and I want to throw my clothes on the ground and stomp on them. And, of course sometimes, the TV is much more tempting than a novel. Well I think I will go pick up my dirty clothes, talk nice to Gloria, all while reading The Magicians Gambit. Bye to all!
