Christmas lessons learnt

This Christmas I learnt that Father Christmas doesn't mind if I don't exhaust myself trying to get the whole house cleaned and tidied before his arrival!! I didn't do the usual mad dash round the house, and Father Christmas still thought I was a good girl and left me my presents :-) And I enjoyed Christmas MUCH more as I wasn't stressed and exhausted before it even happened :-) I need to take this to heart, and remember that I don't have to be perfect - good enough is good enough :-) I often feel that I have failed because things aren't perfect, I have to remind myself that things don't have to be perfect - just good enough :-)
