At some point during each day I head over to this site to review the post(s).
I check to see how the photos turn out, think about how I should have made them larger or smaller and review the post.
Yesterday I gasped, and then giggled when I saw what I had done:
I’d put up a Travel Thursday post – and yesterday was Wednesday.
What Had Happened Was . . . .
See, what had happened was, I was excited about sharing the photo of the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai and eagerly prepared the post.
I was supposed to set that one to post for Thursday and post something else for Wednesday – well, you get the picture.
Making Mistak3s .. . .
I giggled when I saw yesterday’s post, and then laughed at myself because the snafu wasn’t the first one I’ve made since I began these daily posts.
I’ve gotten my count incorrect, and after making that mistake a few times between January and February, I went out and purchased a calendar that shows the number of the current day in the year, and how many days remain.
With that calendar in hand my mistakes became fewer – but I still made them.
In the upper right hand corner, you see that today is the 169th day of the year and we have 196 remaining days in 2015. (I also have sorority meeting tonight at 6 p.m.)
What I Learned
I’m a perfectionist at heart, yet I’m so happy I’ve reached a point in my life that I can literally LAUGH at myself when things don’t turn out . . . . Perfectly.
Instead of being ticked, I’m tickled that not only do I make certain mistakes once, I’m prone to make them two, three, four times . . . or more.
I also learned that some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
Am I advocating sloppiness? Of course not. What I do advocate is the freedom to make mistakes, accepting the fact that mistakes happen – and realizing if they do, it’s ok, because there’s always tomorrow.
There’s always tomorrow, and we can never have too much fun.
