Coming Up Short

I can be fussy and critical of those close to me. I am so vision-driven that if my vision wanes, I come off as lazy and stubborn. A bearer of lofty ideals, I can play martyr, or freak out when I should take things in stride. I'm on the computer too much. I get overinvolved in the choices of others. I am easily disoriented. I clutter my car. I get bored with tedium. I'm territorial. I am so good at reaching far, sometimes I don't reach close.

Self-honesty, mixed with love, is a beautiful thing.

Rather than hide or ignore weaknesses, why not put them down on paper? Simply being aware of your faults fosters a sense of grace. Why, just think of all those beings who love you, and are already putting up with your nonsense!
