We so often are so ready to pull ourselves down when we notice our own little mistakes, while we are the first to praise others and help them feel better about themselves over theirs..

It is a trait I too am guilty of, stemming from the childhood feeling of not being worthy of praise.

Indeed Jane, we are all of us still learning, and without our little mistakes, in all of life's experiences, we would not learn and grow...

Learning to Let our own self judgement go, and forgive and love ourselves, has to be one we find the hardest in mastering...

But we are learning.... As we learn to LOVE, and share that love..

I loved your post dear Jane, and my catch up here with you this evening..

Much LOVE to you my friend... And as my 'guide' once said to me, " There are no mistakes in life, just choices".. :-)

Much love xx 💖🙏

I can relate to 'beating yourself up' Jane, but as I get older, I give myself more grace. As you said, we are all human. My son tells me to not overthink things (which he probably got from me) and my daughter reminds all of us to give ourselves grace when we need it. Lovely post and reminder, dear friend. Sending hugs and lots of love to you and Tim. You are a beautiful friend! xoxoxoxoxo
