I’m happy about the Happy Accident (Chris Zydel’s post) that led to you write this delightful post!

Barbara, yes–I LOVE that book! But it’s been ages since I read it . . . maybe it’s time to dig in again and see what’s super-applicable to this site. Thanks!

Rebecca–LOL! It sneaks up on you, doesn’t it? Don’t worry–you are hereby completely absolved of HAVING to think of a happy accident. ;o)

Funny about the question because I think they’re recommended to encourage readers to respond, and yet they could also give people stage fright : )

I am a BIG AVOIDER of the possibility of mistakes. And I KNOW how this gets in the way of so many opportunities for discovery and delight and creating of wonderful things.

I can’t even think up one happy accident, but you’ve got me thinking now and I won’t be happy until I find one…

Oh no, is that more perfectionism?! Eep!

Ooooh, a comment! Thanks, Eileen. )

(Note to self: Maybe think about not ending posts with such specific questions, so people don’t feel obliged to answer them if they want to leave comments. Heh.)

Love this. What a great reminder, thank you. If we (and everything we make) were all perfect life would be seriously boring!
