I LOVE all that you said FireSprite!

Thank you!

My two daughters are like night and day in many ways, but sadly, they each seem to have developed my uber perfectionistic tendencies (their dad thought he was the worlds brightest, most talented man to ever walk the earth and was unrelenting in his "coaching" of them when they were younger and "helping" them with academics...

I have to believe that crap didn't help but I also know that the girls watch me closely and have learned some not so great stuff from me too...

I was thinking about this to I lay in bed much earlier this morning, seriously contemplating just bailing on the running group bc of nerves... I ultimately got up, went, and was fine... And I decided that success for me today was going to be making myself get up and go and at least try. And I thought to myself, "you know WTBH you tell your kids to at least be willing to try and maybe you need to hold yourself to the same standard"...

Work in progress I guess, right?
