Kirsten, I know this is an old post of yours but I think it is still a goodie and when I started blogging – actually, while I was still setting up my blog – I had a draft box full of posts that I didn’t want to publish. I just could never get them perfect enough!

That’s when I realized how right you were and how silly of me to settle for nothing but perfection when even my favorite blogs have occasional typos. Just wanted to let you know, this post of yours continues to inspire, and I referenced your title in my goals for the year ^.^ http://soloviaje.tumblr.com/post/16076921093/12-for-12

You have the right idea! It is really refreshing to see someone actually say what I feel so many times!

When I knit or crochet gifts for people, I remind myself that the mistakes let them know it really is handmade. And then I remember the Amish, who purposely put “mistakes” in their quilts, because only God makes perfect things.

This morning I was reading http://groceryshrink.com/blog by Angela Coffman. Her post on August 7, 2010 was titled “Your Best is Good Enough” and she wrote , ” In the darkness I hear the Holy Spirit whisper, “Your best is enough and I will make up the difference. “

Hello Frugal Girl,
I just StumbledUpon your blog the other day so right away I signed up to have your posts delivered to my inbox. Today’s post linked me to this one and… here I am. This post was meant for a time such as this in my life. I struggle with the “perfectionism” too! Thank you for you encouragement!

Thanks for this, I recently got a little discouraged when I realized all that I don’t do frugally, then my hubby reminded me that I didn’t have to do everything that you or people that I’ve read that link to your blog do. I accomplished my goal of lowering our grocery bill & thats what is so great. Love him!… and your blog.

Love this blog and your post. I am a brand newbie and glad to be here
Just kicked off my own blog in Mar 09 on Christ-centered parenting (different topic) but have the same feelings you do. I love the blog and am blessed to have it in so many ways… But the blogging world can be such a double-edged sword if we let it. We have to be so watchful and disciplined not to fall into the traps of comparison, envy, or perfectionism.
Thanks for a great post and for all you do here.
