MY LETTER OF CONFESSION

1/5/2019

​Dear Special Friend,
​
I have struggled with the concept of being Good Enough my entire life.  I have written about it and it is one of my main speaking topics.  I order my Good Enough cards by the case and have given hundreds away. 
 
Yesterday was one of those days that I felt FAR FAR from Good Enough! 
It began by me trying to sew on my sewing machine.  I hadn’t used it in several months and I immediately plugged it up with thread. I had to take it to the sewing center to have it fixed and receive a lesson on how to use it. 
 
Then I looked in the pool room and a plant had fallen over and there was dirt everywhere!  So, I think well, while I clean that up, I will multitask and put bleach in and add water to the pool.  I put the hose in the pool and turn the water on too fast.  The hose quickly reared up like a cobra snake flopping around striking at me and soaking me while flooding the room. Now I had 2 messes to clean up. And a load of towels to wash when I was done. Also, during the chaos of chasing the hose monster, bleach splattered all over me ruining the new top that I was wearing. 
 
Later, things settled down and I was telling my husband about my crazy day.
Then, I almost killed us!  
I had the Instant Pot on the ceramic stove top warming up the leftover roast I made the day before.  I had turned a burner on to make gravy.  We were sitting at the table eating salad, when I began smelling something.  Thinking the gravy had boiled over I jump up to see smoke bellowing out of the Instant Pot.  I had turned the wrong burner on- the one UNDER the Instant Pot!  It totally melted the bottom off the Instant Pot.  I unplugged it, grabbed it and ran to the garage.
 
It could have blown up as the entire bottom was melted off and all the electrical insides were exposed.  Melted plastic covered our stove top and I thought it was damaged beyond repair.  Our entire house filled with smoke - probably toxic from melted plastic- so now I am sure we all have cancer. Every window in the house was open and all fans were on for hours.   Our dogs hid in our bedroom far away from the craziness.
 
I wrapped the Instant Pot in a green yard bag and plunged it to the bottom of the garbage can while my husband worked for an hour on the stove top. He scrubbed and scraped until he had removed all the melted plastic and polished it like new again - he is a miracle cleaner!  
 
We ate a bowl of cereal and I went to bed with a blazing headache.  
~ ~ ~
Today is a new day.  
Although, I am still beating myself up for being stupid, not thinking, doing dumb things.... yes, self-talk is devastating!  
As with most of my life experiences this has turned into a shareable moment in the form of this writing for all to see. I realize how lucky I am and that many people would love my life even on one of my worst days, but yesterday I felt like a loser and far from even close to feeling Good Enough. 
I want you to know that no one has a perfect life.  Stress, frustration and accidents happen to everyone.  
Even I have days that I am challenged to still Love My Life- NO MATTER WHAT!

Pennie’s Life Lesson: “We all have times of stress, frustration and feelings of not being Good Enough. – Love yourself and your life anyway!”

YOUR TURN...         
My intent in sharing this with you is to admit that my life is not perfect.  I am not perfect.  I am just like you! I have days where I am challenged to love my life!

    There is a certain magic about where I live both physically and spiritually – on the crossroads of Spirit and Brave. 

    It seems appropriate that my writings be found under the sign that locates my life.  I wish for all of you the ability to live in your Spirit to experience a life filled with love and gratitude and be Brave in the learning of your life lessons. 

    Enjoy!
            Pennie
