On Perfection

~~~~~~~~~~

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering.

There is a crack in everything,

That's how the light gets in.

~Leonard Cohen

If you have a moment, go visit Amy of A Commonplace Life and read these two lovely posts about perfection as it relates to blogging.  I wish I had Amy's gift for expressing my feelings so clearly and beautifully.

I really love that quote; saved it for later. I also have loved Amy's posts and am enjoying seeing everyone's "moments".

Oh, both Leonard and Amy put it so well. As do you.

Hi Alexis! (It's Kris from CHG.) I was wondering if it might be okay to use your comment inquiry (on fat free recipes) as part of a new advice post. I'd pose the question, and readers would write in with more recipe ideas. Is that okay?

(I couldn't quite figure out e-mail on my Mac. Sorry about posting this in the comments!)

For some reason, that quote brought tears to my eyes. Yes. And thank you for your kind words.

I shouted "yes!" when I read Amy's post. I, too, wish I was as eloquent!
