It is What it is

I have heard this saying many times and mostly I have heard people say bad things about it - oh, so people should just sit back and do nothing,  its a crutch, they're just lazy.

However, I think this saying is a reminder that it is alright the way it is.  It is ok to not be perfect.  I think about the many times that I would read a blog only to eventually get bored and stop reading.  Why?  Everything was always perfect - I make this, I do that, I plant this, I feed this.  Life is so wonderful, blah, blah, blah.  It isn't true.  There are times when things don't turn out, when the best we can do is smile and say, "It is what it is."

I have tried many times to blog before.  It never took long before I turned my own self off.  There isn't always an answer to everything.  When people blog only the perfect I get a sense of falseness, a two dimensionality that leaves something to be desired.  We are humans.  We make mistakes. We do the best we can do which is not always perfect.

So this blog is mine.  It is my journal.  It is what it is.
