Next year, someone there'll be a different image of perfection. I always thought perfection is an absolute...not so, apparently.

I'm sure those of us who've gone to Chelsea come home with all sorts of plans, most of which are quite impractical, but we get a lot of pleasure out of making a garden too. And if it's not as good as we'd hoped, we don't take it personally - though we might have been encouraged to spend a lot of money unnecessarily.<br /><br />The body image thing and the manipulation of people into wanting more and more is another matter again. And when people fail at getting the perfect body or get into debt buying designer bags and shoes, they do take it personally.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157854175907447521.post-5621281715043175492010-06-01T10:14:39.250+02:002010-06-01T10:14:39.250+02:00I love, love, love all your blooms!!!

I'm a "perfectionista"! I sometimes go overboard. Just have a look at my blog to understand LOL I dont know why I'm this way but I have learned to make peace with it! On the other hand I love to see people try and put on perfect shows of whatever. I feel they put their heart in it because they are trying to please me and so I feel flattered. Am I weird? Probably!
