I do not know how you do it Scott, but you have hit the nail on the head again with this answer to Joey. Settling for "good enough" frees up so many things. Who are we trying to please anyway, and as my dear mother used to say," give it a lick and promise". We need to give ourselves permission to not be "so perfect". We have more time for happiness and fun things, plus we are more fun to be around for the others in our lives. I love everything you said, including the last paragraph.
To catch you up on my personal problem with lumbar back pain. I will be getting a follow up MRI on the 14th and from that, my pain manager will try to determine what is making the pain so much worse. Maybe a ruptured disc? And then what coarse of action to take. The lumbar injections did not touch it. Always with hope...... and,@IndianaScott, yes, strength, courage and peace.
