Neurotic

I don't think it's any secret that I'm a perfectionist. I'm never completely satisfied with any final product and I'm always analyzing and re-analyzing what I did, what I said, and what I wrote. I really wish I knew how to lighten up. I was discussing this with one of the people who launched the Cure CMD website in connection with the video I put together. She commented that she completely understands where I'm coming from because she too is "neurotic." I've always considered myself a perfectionist, not neurotic! However, she went on to define neurotic in the best of all definitions: driven, slightly manic and wanting to create positive change.

Well, when you put that positive spin on it, being neurotic doesn't sound like such a bad thing. So, I'm no longer a perfectionist .... I'm neurotic at its best!

For those who asked and who aren't on FB, Eric didn't win a single game at the chess tournament. They pair the kids in the beginning based on age and experience. After each game the kids are re-paired based on if they won or lost the previous game. They played four rounds. Of course, Eric being a perfectionist neurotic like his mother, says he is never playing in another chess tournament again! But, of course .... he will.

Have a great day and stay tuned for a new blog look coming soon.
