Perfect imperfection and Parkinsons – Podcast Episode 18

Some may strive for perfection, but for me, that is aiming too high. I try to be the best that I can be in the moment. My best can change minute to minute, hour by hour or day by day. What is important is to be kind to ourselves and not put pressure on ourselves to be perfect. Perfection is overrated. To me trying to do our best has more merit than trying to reach the impossible that is perfection.

I am a retired Social Worker having retired in May 2024. I had been a Social Worker for over 20 years and for the sake of my health and wellbeing I chose to retire early. I have some literary projects underway and am enjoying the freedom of no longer working. Working on my projects at my own pace and enjoying my new hobby of lawn bowls is a wonderful thing. No regrets and a new kind of busy in retirement is wonderful.

  1. Sue, as you know I end my blog with Carpe Diem! “Be strong! be your best! Be you!” is a great encouragement. In our little support group that sentiment is present and prevalent to those who come. Cheryl and I used to hike a lot – you call it tramping. She kept it up to within 6 months or so of her death. It works – exercise staved off the disease for a long time. 18 years or so anyway. Thanks for your spirit. Keep on keeping on…

    1. We very much need to Carpe Diem with this condition. I found the diagnosis spurred me on to want to be more consciously aware of making sure I spent time with my family. I certainly make more effort than I used to! I hope I have as much time as you guys had together living life and being together.
