You point us toward the distinction of being perfect and being whole. The former is life-draining and spirit-killing. The latter is a process of fermentation into gratitude, even wonder and joy. It is of critical importance while navigating life.

One, especially a Mom one, is constantly trying to balance the automatic, instantaneously instinctive, feeling reactions whilst simultaneously submitting them to the outlying analytic circuits wreathed in grey which take longer before they come up with an assessment of what shall I do? ...which verdict is subsequently submitted to the overbearingly conscientious conscience circuit which mumbles all the other possibilities not taken thereby leaving one in immobilizing ruminative reckonings. In short, as you so vivdly portray, there is no winning, only surviving to balance oneself through another day. 😳 😵‍💫 🥸
