Day 317 {Reverb11} Vocabulary

Prompt#28 ~ Vocabulary.

If you could eliminate one word from your brain forever – what would it be?

I can’t think of one particular word that I would like to eliminate forever, but I certainly would like to eliminate the negative self talk.  I have made great strides in this area in 2010, but definitely plan to continue the journey of self love in 2012 and beyond.  I know there are a lot of people, including myself, who are a lot tougher on themselves than they would every thing of being to a friend.  


As I'm typing, I realize there is one word I would like to eliminate ~ perfectionism!  This has been a big lesson for me this year to release the need to be "perfect" or think life would be different if I were "this or that".  I have learned that it is the beauty inside that truly counts.  I have learned it is perfect to be imperfect ME!  I have learned to embrace my flaws and know they make me unique.

I believe this quote wholeheartedly - the beauty inside is what truly makes a person lovely!!  

“A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. 

You can have a wonky nose & a crooked mouth 

and a double chin & stick-out teeth, 

but if you have good thoughts 

they will shine out of your face 

like sunbeams and

you will always look lovely.” 

~ Roald Dahl
