On Perspective

I had an experience today.  Well, I actually had more than one... but this one was relevant.

I had an opportunity to connect with a good friend and former roommate, who stopped me to tell me thank you again for choices I had made during a hard experience we shared over two years ago.  Her words gave me a new point of view on what others see - and how different it is from what I see when I look in the mirror. It was the good kind of feedback to receive, the kind that opened my eyes to what Heavenly Father sees, and (at least temporarily) derailed the perfectionistic and hypercritical trains of thought.

And frankly, that's the kind of train wreck I wouldn't mind seeing take place more often.
