"If you take your glasses off, you won't see the food on the floor!"

I won't deny my chronic problem of perfectionism. But I don't consider it perfectionism when there is food on my floor, I see it and I feel compelled to pick up. However, my wonderful husband would disagree with my denial of perfectionism. He doesn't see the food that I see on the floor. He attributes it to the fact that he doesn't typically wear his glasses, so he can't see it. Which is why it's easy for him to walk over it and not pick it up.

"Why don't you take your glasses off too, then you won't see the food", he exclaimes!

This could be a source of conflict ... but I think he may have a point. And usually, he's right about these things. So, I consider what he says. Maybe I do need to take my glasses off once in awhile. Not only would I miss seeing food on the floor, but I'd probably relax a bit more b/c I don't see it. =)

Being the introspective one that I am, I figure this advice applies to my life on a larger scale too. Sometimes I see things far too clearly. I need to take off my glasses and let life be a bit more blurry. I could use a bit more blur in my world.
