We all get so caught up in trying to do everything right, to keep our precious image perfect, that we don't allow ourselves any imperfections. I've finally realized now at 65 years of age that mistakes (whether real or perceived) are what make us approachable and human. Learning to ignore feelings of embarrassment and laugh at myself has given me a different perspective and a sense of freedom. I’ve gotten to that golden age where I don’t give a flug what others think.

You have love and support here, please don’t be embarrassed or hard on yourself.
