https://clharbridge.wordpress.com/2015/01/16/the-problem-with-perfection
Someone Like Me…. Better and Better, Day after Day…. The Problem With Perfection…. January 16, 2015. The Problem With Perfection…. I recently learned a great new phrase. Japanese worldview or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”. Or, a simpler definition is. 8216;finding beauty in roughness and irregularity”. YES, I Do! I never felt free to try anything new, because if I c...

Someone Like Me…. Better and Better, Day after Day…. Someone Like Me…. January 10, 2015. I LOVE that two years ago I came up with this for the name of my blog. You know why? I’m figuring it out, just like you are, day by day. And I personally think that is our lot in life – to figure it out. We don’t ‘get there’ – in my opinion. When we finally DO get there, well, I believe we’ll be ready for the next phase…beyond this world as we know it. Can get through it –. 8230;so we can hear that voice within us.

Sailing Into 2016 | Someone Like Me...
https://clharbridge.wordpress.com/2016/01/01/sailing-into-2016
Someone Like Me…. Better and Better, Day after Day…. January 1, 2016. 8221; The responses surprised me, actually, and I realized this was not the group for me at all. So, I left. Why? Because, while I live with chronic pain, and sometimes so much so that I can’t function in a day, I just can’t look at life through the negative lenses that they seemed to be using. I just can’t! So, as 2016 approaches, and I (think) I’m back on my feet again (yay! I feel….excited. What will the new year bring? 8220;Althoug...

When Did I Lose My Words? | Someone Like Me...
https://clharbridge.wordpress.com/2015/12/24/when-did-i-lose-my-words
Someone Like Me…. Better and Better, Day after Day…. When Did I Lose My Words? December 24, 2015. In the last two months, I’ve been coming in here, to this blog of mine, and just staring at it. Looking through past posts and wondering, did that cat get my tongue? I wrote only two posts this past year. What happened? So, I’ve been thinking I should just delete my little corner of the internet – but somehow – I can’t do it. That’s not the whole problem, though. For ALL of my life I have struggled...I’...

Loving Yourself – Can You? Do You? | Someone Like Me...
https://clharbridge.wordpress.com/2015/04/11/loving-yourself-can-you-do-you
Someone Like Me…. Better and Better, Day after Day…. Loving Yourself – Can You? April 11, 2015. A friend recently asked me why I had stopped writing in my blog. I told her, because sometimes I feel like I have nothing to say, that’s all. Sometimes I feel I have words that the world needs to hear. (And wow, doesn’t that sound boastful? But so does everyone and their brother nowadays! To be better in some way. As if who I’ve been has never been enough. But I’m tired of striving! Nothing is wrong with me.

https://clharbridge.wordpress.com/2016/01/13/the-weight-of-the-world
Someone Like Me…. Better and Better, Day after Day…. The Weight of the World. January 13, 2016. I’ve been feeling pensive of late. Restless, as the days begin and end, begin and end, over and over and over again. I go about my daily activities, do my errands, brushing shoulders with others doing the same. And too often, we barely make eye contact, let alone speak. Most people look away. Like he’s pathetic. No, people! Don’t you see? With us – causing more alienation than connection. Perhaps it’s th...

Blessed 2015 | Someone Like Me...
https://clharbridge.wordpress.com/2015/12/26/blessed-2015
Someone Like Me…. Better and Better, Day after Day…. December 26, 2015. Here we are on the ‘other’ side of Christmas. How are you feeling? I’m happy to say I lived through all that and stand here on the flip side with a whole lot of different ways of thinking. Christmas has become a joyous time again for me. And it’s not about what I can ‘buy’ for Christmas. Some years I have a little more money. Some years I have none! We laughed, loved and yes, ate! And I wish to take this time to thank each of my kids...

The Perils of Perfection | Someone Like Me...
https://clharbridge.wordpress.com/2016/01/08/the-perils-of-perfection
Someone Like Me…. Better and Better, Day after Day…. The Perils of Perfection. January 8, 2016. I’ve written about perfection before. I’ve lived with trying to gain power over my need to be perfect in all things for longer than I can remember. The agony this need causes in me can be devastating. It causes me, sometimes, to go past the point of no return. The point where my energy is depleted, my body is sore, and my emotions are raw. The problem with this way of thinking is…. It’s never right! Wraps its ...
