   Early on in our relationship, my hubby wrote me a piece called “In Praise of my Mediocrity”- he is anything but that in my eyes but to realize that we are not all “awesome” and “winners” (like most are told these days on a daily basis) is a good thing I think. I never over-praised my kid and she has become a hard worker and only wants to make others’ lives better. Too many kids today are told they are “smart”, “awesome”, and a myriad of other platitudes which aren’t true, only to grow up “average” and thus unhappy as adults. Medals and trophies for all involved have not been a good thing. (My opinion).

   Amen to that. There’s too much pressure above average. I’m average in quite a lot of things, and it’s a happy, peaceful place to be.

   We all excel at certain things and suck at others. Averaging those together means that we are all equally average.

     OR equally above-average! (I will choose the latter, thank you!)

   I could not figure out how to comment over there. I think so many need this. I have lived average my life yet the world makes us feel we are not enough..
