The Perfection Imperative

Benedicamus Domino!

As those who have read this journal before will know by now, I have been off the grid for a few months now. This is because I fell out of the habit of writing every day. The reason for this lapse is--shock of all shocks!--that I am not perfect!

I realized my need to appear perfect about six weeks into my hiatus from keeping this journal. I found myself frantically trying to compose entries for the days which I missed so that it would appear to the world that I had not missed them. God forbid that I should appear to lapse or to leave something incomplete!

So, I'm saying here and now that I have been away from this journal and my project as well for about three months. It's time I get back into it again, and I will try again to keep the journal every day, but if I skip a day, I'll just write again the next day. What usually happens in my life is that if I miss one thing, I throw the whole scheme away in frustration. Well, this is not going to happen this time.

So, here we go again, living for joy!

Deo Gratias!
