Life is like a carpet...

We spend our whole life worrying about the details. 

Working with the knots like the carpet weavers...

Is your hair combed, legs shaved, makeup on, shirt tucked in properly. 

Is your dinner warm, steak cooked to perfection, is there too much salt in the sauce?

Did you make the best grades, is the yard mowed, flower beds weeded? 

Did you read enough news, pay attention to the presidential election, stay that extra hour at work, know enough of world issues? Are you smart enough, religious enough, happy enough? 

Oh my gosh so many details. 

Look at a carpet... LOOK really close....When you go to buy one, the carpet man always turns it over so you can see the details of the work. If you work harder on the details the carpet is much more beautiful and exquisite.  

We spend more than half our life on the wrong side of the carpet. 

Staring at the backside, the knots and issues without stepping to the other side to admire the beauty of all your hard work!

Pat yourself on the back for a job well done.

Award yourself with praise, don't wait until someone else does it for you.

Be proud of you.

Let's step to the other side of life... 

Let us all gander at the wonderful world amongst us. 

Let's like our face, body and family. Let's love yourself, friends and neighbors. 

Let's stop nit picking our lives to death because we didn't hit the ball as far as we should have or made an A+, didn't loose that 5 pounds, lifted that weight one more time.

 Although you work really hard on that final exam, redecorating your livingroom, peeling the garlic, took extra time on that spread sheet, relax. 

Marvel at the majestic finished product with admiration of a fine job you have done.

Stare at the pretty side. Get past the knots.

We all have flaws, that is what makes us unique and special as well as irritating sometimes. 

Some of us talk too much and don't listen to others, snore, fart, are too loud or too meek, too much of a goodie two shoes, or too obnoxious, some of us are too prejudice, think you are better than others, bossy, or too skinny or zit faced, crooked teeth, wrinkles, not very nice, whine all the time, talk about others, judge people, negative or fat. 

I am the first to admit, I am all of these things combined at times, well never too skinny!

If only!

Flaws make the carpet a sign of authenticity, to be handmade is way better than perfect. People seek out the ones that are special...

It means you are real, normal, authentic, unique. Our flaws make us OK to be yourself. 

No one is expecting perfection, except in our own minds.

Tolerate your human side without putting yourself down.

Accept you just the way you are.

Let your knots show.
