I read a post today about things being 'Good Enough' and how that it's probably not. It was written by a teacher and the idea was to work harder for your grades. Set high standards and expect more of your students. I started thinking about all the other areas of my life that I use that saying. Did my daughter eat her veggies? I got in two bites... That's good enough. Is Aidan clean? Well, he's not completely covered in dirt... that's good enough! Did I make the beds and do the laundry.... ummm... sort-of??? That's good enough for today!
There are areas in life that 'good enough' is nowhere near enough. Did I kiss my children today? Did I tell my husband I love him and thank him for all he does? Did I call a friend today?
I think as long as you keep your priorities straight and do the things really important, then you're doing the best you can. I'm happy with that and I can sleep just fine at the end of the day.
I am good enough...

Sounds like you're doing an amazing job that is certainly "good enough." And, I absolutely agree with you that you have to really know your priorities. If someone can find (make) the time to really relax, unwind, pray, etc., I think it can really help to sort out those priorities.
Sometimes I have come to a point where I have said that it was good enough or even been told that it was good enough. I think there are some things in life that require good as being enough but if you try to make everything perfect everytime, it would be impossible.
It's too bad Brad doesn't think this way. I took on this thinking when we moved into a larger house.
