I was asked if I was having a perfect weekend as it includes some of my favourite things. This brought to mind a quote I saw by Jill Churchill — 'There's no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.'
For me a perfect weekend would be impossible. For it to be perfect I would want to spend time with each of the people who mean most to me. I'm lucky to have numerous people who matter greatly to me, but a big gathering wouldn't do it for me cos then it would be snatches of connection, and too many other interactions simultaneously.
Rather than seek perfection, it is completely possible to have a good weekend a million times over with quality time with my lovelies at different points in a year, with different joys that are often unexpected. The meal out yesterday was delicious and not particularly planned in advance. I am so glad I went to join the women's march and saw some ace people and especially enjoyed an enthusiastic rendition of "I will survive" with an impromptu trumpeter.
I hope your weekend is also a good one. Xx
