Everyone’s life is perfect on the internet

I found this tonight on Pinterest yesterday and it prompted some thoughts. (This is for sale on Etsy and I have notified the owner.)

It’s true, isn’t it?

I follow a number of decorating blogs and I keep trying to figure out how their homes can look so perfect all the time.

Or how they can always be so “chipper”. Sometimes it’s nauseating. It’s “too much sugar in your coffee.”

But then I take a step back and realize I probably do the same thing. Put my “best foot forward” and all that. And let’s face it, that’s a good thing.

Besides, it’s no one else’s problem but mine.

And yours. (Maybe it’s not yours. But I’ll bet you compare yourself to someone.:)

So let’s just quit comparing ourselves to people we don’t even know.

For one thing, it makes us not like them and it makes us feel bad.

So repeat after me:

God bless and I hope you have a good day.
