The Imperfect Ten
Suzie Bichovsky-Thomas • December 22, 2013
Who decided that a 10 was the perfect score and why is there pressure to be a 10? Once you are a 10, there’s a risk of phoning it in and not trying anymore. Let’s face it- we can all stand to improve a little more and we will all benefit from the effort. Each day should reset at a 0 and our goal should be to work up to a 9.99999. At home. In our community. With our children, friends, and loved ones. (You can throw work into the mix if you want.) Most of all? Within ourselves. I vow to never be a perfect 10.
How about you?
There’s something about being outside surrounded or embraced by nature.
What’s a nature element that really speaks to you?
It could be the moment you notice the dark green of a treetop touching the vibrant blue of the sky.
I’m awful at business growth, meaning- I don’t post when algorithms say I should. I don’t “buy” likes or followers or traffic to my site. I post all things related to burnout prevention on Fridays which used to be one of the worst days to do so.
I got a phone call on Wednesday night with a funeral date for a family member that passed in March.
During that conversation, we once again explored the path of origin. The surviving spouse got it from work (the area was an epicenter of contagion before we all knew what’s going on). The workplace was a school. It spread like wildfire (again, before anyone knew what it was).
