Dear Lee,



Here is something that strikes me funny. In our efforts to have and be the best or "perfect", we are missing out on some pretty wonderfully things. Take for example, most would not care to hear an out of tune piano played. But if the listener can set aside the fact the sound is not the way they would prefer to hear it, and just listen they might find the music can be just as beautiful. That the fact it is out of tune has it's on beauty. I have found that to be true of people as well. I'm not just talking about beauty being more than skin deep. Everyone should already know that. What i am talking about is that someone may have parts of their life that, well, fall short of prefect. I mean really short of prefect. There are other parts of their lives that shine brighter than any star. Unfortunately, the short falls over shadow all the shining parts, unless you really stop to take a look. They get pigeon holed by their short falls, and sometime buy into this idea of having nothing of worth or value to share with the world or even one person. If subject to this way of thinking it could lead to the end of shining parts.

There are so many out there that are broken, out of tune, beaten down, falling short or flawed. (warning I feel the soap box coming out) Those that are not often dismiss the value these broken souls have. Our world is the island of misfit toys, so to speak. If it's not prefect (or the way you want it) cast it aside and find one that is. Every time I go thrift store shopping with my mom, I see this. So many good things up for sale, just because they may be less than prefect.

If we each took the time to really look and get to know our fellow humans, we just might find that there is more beautiful things in the world, that come with a flaw or two.



Hope all is well with you.



Peace,



Christmas
