In the middle of all the wonderful ingenious, inspired, innovative inspirations that have been swirling through the atmosphere, it occurred to The Good Wife that we were all setting the Bar a little bit too high in some areas and, consequently, were beginning to Stifle the Good Ideas that weren't Great. We were editing our thoughts before letting them out. And some Good Thoughts that had potential for Great Thoughts were being killed before they were ever allowed to be born.
Then, there appeared in our house a book called, "Ish."
A delightfully, freeing little book that has set our Feet to Dancing and our Hearts to Singing even if they are off-key.
Perfection is not the Goal in our World of Wonder. Setting ourselves Free to Celebrate the Pursuit of Perfection is the Goal. So, we aren't Perfect, but we're Perfect-ish. Our days aren't Great, but they're Great-ish.
Ish.
It's the route that all people have to take from Start to Wonderful.

So...you got my curiosity up with this blog. Went to Amazon just to check it out. I clicked on another book by this author titled "The Dot". Have you read it, too? One line from the editorial review just GRABBED my attention: Just make a mark and see where it takes you.
Wow!
If only we could have the courage to MAKE A MARK in our world and see where it takes us ~ what a difference we could make in the world around us!!
This inspires me. Too bad I'm not preaching tomorrow. Hehe
I really, really like this author. I need to study him out, because he might be a bad person, but what he writes inspires me, too. :-)
Paula, I actually have "The Dot." It is the greatest little book. It inspires me. The rest of the sermon in it is this: the little artist made a career out of dot drawing, and then validated other "non-artists" to make their own mark. So it didn't just stop with the little "non-artist"--it spread! It's a cool concept, cool artwork, cool message. Sometimes I think I would rather read children's books than anything else. ha.
Have a great day!
