well, a very successful cinco de mayo, indeed.
zumba was crazy tonight. crazy in a good way.
i should be sleeping because i have tons to do tomorrow, but i'm blogging and writing and thinking instead.
i'm currently thinking about perfection. and, admittedly, perfection depends a whole lot on one's own perception. right? well, i think so. who really has the authority to set a standard that is suitable for all people?
well, i'm currently thinking about what things are perfect in my life. i can happily report that nothing is perfect, nor would i want it to be.
perfection means no fault. faults, to me, are what make people beautiful and unique.
perfection, to me, is listening to damien rice on a rainy day. snuggling on the couch with a good movie and a good person is perfect. laughing until i cry is perfect. having a successful run is perfect. feeling an overwhelming sense of validation is perfect.
are all these things perfect when separated? maybe not. i'm sure there is something faulty with each and every thing i adore.
perfection, to me, is finding beauty in fault.
so, i'm curious...what is perfection to you?

Perfect? Going to bed at night with a stomach full of delicious food, and falling asleep as i hit the pillow because I'm so exhausted from adventuring all day. With Katie cuddled up next to me.
Feeling successful also works... but really it just occurred to me that these are things that make me feel complete. I consider perfection to be an unobtainable goal that's always just beyond the best I can do. It gives me a reason to work hard(er).

i totally agree. i don't think i want perfection. there is only one way to go if achieved.
vonapt, might i add, is a very solid nonsensical word. :-)
