Imperfectly Perfect

I'm losing my hair perfectly

and petting my cat just right

growing my weeds as they should be

talking to my neighbor so nice

drinking beer in sound quantities 

tasting scotch whisky just to taste

enjoying the rain

embracing the heat

feeling the snow

bearing the cold

sleeping the night

exercising the day

accepting my past

learning from friends

enjoying all company

taking the moment

no matter the taste

i couldn't be happier

for any other reason

imperfectly perfect

i fear it's just right

It seems to me that you are living your life. Many are just drifting through. You appear to be accepting things for what they are and enjoying the everyday stuff. I found some contentment in your lines. Perfect is boring, it is the imperfections that make us unique. I look at the imperfections and love my family and friends more because of them. Our pets are an added bonus. A satisfying poem to read.

If everything was perfect we'd all be the same and there's just no fun in that. I like to think that I'm doing a little bit of both, drifting and living... with a semi-exotic cat to keep me company.

our imperfections give
us character..no one
will ever achieve perfection
so we may as well kick back
and enjoy ourselves..why worry
about it..fretting about things
doesn't fix them..nice work

Imperfection is what defines the individual. And sometimes, today's imperfection is tomorrow's advantage. Evolution works in strange ways like that.

I have been saying perfect imperfectly for a long time. I am a beautiful vessel of broken pieces pieces back together.

We all need to learn not to be so hard on ourselves

That's good advice.
