A New Year

Today I am starting on my quest for perfection, or at least my quest to be the kind of person who can make it out the door without spending fifteen minutes looking for the keys. Most of the time I just walk around trying not to be a dork. I think we all walk around with images in our head of who we would like to be. Mine would be someone who is smart, perceptive, talented, and confident. Unfortunately I am stuck with me. On the reverse side though I also am stuck with an amazing husband and four beautiful, funny, inspiring girls. I want to teach them to expand their minds, to never be afraid to try something new, to never fear saying no, to truly see people and take the time to talk to them, and to never stop growing. This year instead of a quest for perfection I think I might focus on getting organized enough to be creative and carefree (yes, they do go hand in hand) and then to go on exploring even while the dishes get piled in the sink.
