Yes, please be gracious to yourself! Any time you lose your patience because of the chaos around you, just imagine dozens of your readers giving you a big, mushy hug. (In the most non-stalker sense of the word, of course!). You are fabulous, even at your roughest, most unkempt moments. Sara at On Simplicity´s last blog post..Giving up Sacred Cows

That last sentence grips my heart! Perfection cannot be achieved, learning to love and appreciate the process is totally doable! Beautifully stated. Wishing you a grace filled weekend! Sandy´s last blog post..A Beautiful Life Goals & Sassy Storage Box Tutorial...

Try being kind to yourself just one day at a time and you will get your grace back, take care, Margaret Margaret´s last blog post..Who Are Your Heroes?

They say that awareness of a problem is the first step in solving it. I admire you for being able to step outside of your grumpiness, take a deep breath, share about it on your blog and make a conscious decision to change it! When I get like that (more frequently than I would like!) I just get stuck there. Next come blame and anger, at others and then at myself. Your post is an inspiration!

So true! We often think we'll be happier with a clean house. But I've learned to let it go, I know I'll enjoy writing that letter, reading that book, or spending that time with someone I love, more than if I had spent that hour making sure my house was spotless. Not that I have a super messy house, but sometimes only cleaning every two weeks is worth it! Chiot's Run´s last blog post..BRRRR, It’s Cold Outside

That is a lovely compliment to receive. I have a hard time giving myself grace too. It's interesting you point that out. It's so easy to give grace to others sometimes that I don't realize I'm not giving myself any. Nicki at Domestic Cents´s last blog post..Useful Portions
