Too true that the good is the enemy of the best! I've been thinking about that a lot this fall.
Better get those baby toys out soon, or Katie won't need them anymore! :)
I think I have too many things to put on a list, and not enough time to do them. {sigh} Thanks for the reminder that I can't go wrong spending time with my family!
Got out baby toys today. Whew. Saved some back, should be set for Katie's Christmas! :)
Best things are the best.
That's funny, because in medicine we often say, "Sometimes the enemy of good is better." When you are trying to complete X procedure, and you are thinking, "a little further, a little futher, a little further," and then OOPS, you did something you didn't really want to do. So sometimes if you have done good for a patient you can make things worse by trying to do even better...Funny. But I see your point. :)
