Perfectly Miserable
A sweet gal gave me this list (recipe) today at church. She too is a mom of many- five children. {Thank you Brook!}
As I struggle… with all the mommyhood demands, I love how this is simply stated and beautiful. This will certainly be on my mind and my heart.
How to Be Perfectly Miserable
- Think about yourself.
- Talk about yourself.
- Use “I” as often as possible.
- Mirror yourself continually in the opinion of others.
- Listen greedily to what people have to say about you.
- Expect to be appreciated.
- Be suspicious.
- Be jealous and envious.
- Be sensitive to slights.
- Never forgive a criticism.
- Trust no one but yourself.
- Insist on consideration and respect.
- Demand agreement with your own views on everything.
- Sulk if people are not grateful to you for favors shown to them.
- Never forget a service you may have rendered.
- Be on the lookout for a good time for yourself.
- Shirk your duties if you can.
- Do as little as possible for others.
- Love yourself supremely.
- Be selfish.
This recipe is guaranteed to be infallible.

So as you struggle today, tomorrow, or everyday like I often do, just remember this recipe. And someday, we are going to miss this. This challenging and demanding time in our lives… it makes us who we will become.
Thanks for that. I needed to read that today. 🙂
