I consider this picture as a perfect example of an eclipse. Setting myself up to expect to get a perfect picture, a perfect result, or a perfect experiment is overrated. The expectation of perfection will eventually lead to disappointment. No one can be be perfect all the time.
I will share a personal example. My parents were polar opposites. I would bring home a paper from school and my mom would say “You got 8 right. I am glad you did your homework.” My Dad would say “You need to do more studying, you missed two.”
Some children may have been motivated by either statement. I was not. I refused to talk to my father about school and paper work by the time I got to 2nd grade. My Mom, I would make home-made cards. My father got ones that were purchased and put in a typewriter to type out my name.
My fathers goal was perfection and my mothers goal was do your best.
In my world I find myself using the word perfect with my grandchildren all the time. “That was a perfect game, we laughed and everyone had a good time.”
Every time I get a big hug and a smile, “Thanks my heart feels loved and perfect right now.”
Yesterday I walked into the room of my youngest grandson. It look like a tornado hit. He beamed “Would you like to help me clean up my perfect storm?”

your grandson is hilarious! I think all of us desire perfection at times. We measure ourselves against the tape measure of Mary Poppins (Almost nearly perfect).
But we always fall short.
Thanks and now I am singing all the Mary Poppins songs and that is fabulous!
My wife adores Mary Poppins (we were the only adults in the theater without kids for the new one).
