When is enough ... Enough?

     Burn that thought! I don't know about you, but it seemed to me growing up that I got a lot of messages telling me that I wasn't good enough. From the biblical teaching of original sin, to not living up to my parents' expectations, to teachers writing in my report cards that I didn't "work up to my potential." I've lived with the hope that someday I would be good enough, do enough, have enough, be loved enough.
     And the only way that I have figured takes me out of this endless trap is to continually work on accepting myself just the way I am - right now - as good enough. Not that I can't or won't change. Not that there aren't some things I'd like to change. But for now, I AM good enough. 
     Regardless of who in my life, or around me, may say otherwise. I am good enough. (Oh, by the way, so are you!)
     Sure I want to do more, be more, have more - but for this moment, I am enough. And what kicked this whole train of thought off was the question, "Am I blogging enough?" Yes, I am, even though I have thoughts that I'd like to be more regular about it, still I keep returning to it, and have for a few years now. 

How perfect is that?
