I have a problem.

My name is Stefanie, and I have a problem. I am finding that my pursuit of perfection is really hindering my ability to be happy. In lamens terms, what that means is that the minute I find a flaw in something I have done, or purchased, or said, I am no longer happy with it. In fact, sometimes my perception of it is badly tarnished. Let's have an example (one that I was able to get straight in my head finally). I heard one complaint from the guests and was unable to even watch my video or look at the pictures without hearing it echo in my mind. It was tarnished and I wished I could have done it over again. Luckily, I have gotten over it by talking it out with Matt several times. And basically, he just told me I was crazy. :) But it happens with everything. My old house, my new house, my car, people I become friends with. Find a flaw...no longer happy. I wonder why that is. What's worse is that it ruins my memory of perfectly good people and events and everything is suddenly negative. And that is not good for a person's overall happiness. Recently, I have been making a concerted effort to take the bad WITH the good and accept things for how they are and not let it bother me. But it just occurred to me that I'm being negative about my new house and decided to post about it to remind myself that this is silliness and you can't have EVERYTHING.
