The Gift of Gab! Episode #38 I’m That Neighbor: A Busy Life & Imperfect Yard

This is probably my most imperfect radio show yet…

But as the title suggests, it’s also one of my most perfectly real shows about life and it’s unexpected events wrecking havoc on my vision of what is perfect.

I had to take my daughter to an unexpected doctors appointment at the same time my show airs, so instead of canceling this segment, I decided spontaneously to prerecord it from my living room. This stroke of genius occurred at the same time our crazy boxer decided to play “chase the tail of our Tomcat”. This, as you can just imagine, compelled Friar Chunks (our big kitty) to pull out the claws and spare no mercy. You’ll notice the yelping in several places (and my laughter)! Talk about hard to concentrate and focus! SHEESH!

In today’s episode, I talk about how we base so much in our lives off of what we THINK is perfect, and what we think is perfectly acceptable in our perfect little lives to those around us. (And actually, all those perceptions are perfect little lies!)

Our lives, relationships, careers, finances and other life areas can easily be affected by the idea of perfectionism instead of the reality of what is perfect and OK for our situations, circumstances, family dynamics and more. Our perceptions may be WAY off! And if we always chase some version of perfectionism, we can end up chasing things forever, never find them, and completely miss the enjoyment of what we do have—even in their imperfections.

While this episode is perfectly imperfect, it is perfect for today and the circumstances that popped up in my life, and despite it, I think there are some valuable lessons in it for us all. The dog and cat are merely a bonus and add a realistic flair to how life usually happens.

Remember: the perfect life is a perfect lie. It doesn’t exist. The enjoyment comes when we simply decide to live with what we have while embracing the unexpected as part of the experience and rolling with it.

So today remember to breathe. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Do what you can and learn to be OK with that. Remember to relax, and make the best of what you’ve got. That in itself can make any imperfect life seem so simply perfect.
