I've been thinking of my favorite stories from childhood.
They are not pages of tales regaling me of stories of the perfectly put together family, living in a perfectly tidy suburban home, all the characters constantly cheerful and with no problems in sight. Sounds boring, right?
No, They are full of characters from quirky homes and nontraditional situations.
It
comforts me to know that the best stories do not come from homes that are
perfectly kept, with always put together parents and ever ready stacks of cash.
The real, the true, the interesting stories-the fascinating, kind, incredible
children-come most often from the homes with more love than money, more
discussion than cleaning, more laughter than primping in a mirror.
Let us stop the constant comparisons and the "I'm not good enough"s. It's time to rock our perfectly imperfect life and live a life worthy of being written about.
Shine on, Dear Ones, Shine on.
