“The best is the enemy of the good.” – Voltaire

That is the current quote on the whiteboard in my office. It reminds me to recognize my futile attempts at perfect, and to be satisfied with good results. It helps me to pull the trigger on my GMAW gun when I may otherwise continue to line up the perfect bead, or to push the GTAW foot pedal when I’m confident my amperage and gas flow rate are set adequately, not perfectly.

I haven’t written creatively in quite a while, and I’m quickly realizing I’m constantly second guessing my grammar, and likely for good reason. Luckily, I’ve saved my copy of The Elements of Style. This would be a good time to crack that open, again. I fear I’ve broken many a rule.

What about frequency of posts? Maybe not daily, but definitely more often than never. I’ll be intentional about it. Too often and it could lack quality and depth. Too seldom and it may not be as real.

More stuff for me to overthink about, I suppose. I googled “overthinking” and I’m not sure if I should have. Anyways, here’s a photo.
