Journal entry:
Not Near Enough
It’s impossible
To be perfect, and yet my
Possibilities
At being imperfect are
Seemingly so limitless.
I can do my best
And still fall incredibly
Short of what I should
With greatest ease accomplish,
My efforts are all lacking.
I make grave errors
In judgment when I should know
So much the better,
Maybe I am so deeply
Flawed there is no remedy.
Repeatedly I
Fall short of expectations
Never fulfilling
The hopes and dreams of those who
Choose to put their faith in me.
It’s impossible
To be perfect, yet I have
Made an art form of
Missing opportunities
To fulfill my potential.

I am grateful:
1. I have learned to hang up on salespeople who call and wake me.
2. Mom and I had leftover sandwich for supper.
3. I was able to go to my class this evening.
4. I learned a lot.
5. I was able to talk to Richard, Norma, and Carri after the class.
I finished Tuesday in disappointment with myself, but I sincerely hope your day was rewarding. I recommend you busy yourself doing something creative. Whatever media you choose to work in, use your fertile imagination. You have great talent, which you may share with the world.
