A moment of clarity

Nobody is perfect, right?  Definitely not me.  This is a brief insight to keep myself honest and reflect on in the future if I need it.  For a period of time I've been contemplating changing - "fixing" - a personal attribute that would have nothing to do with function and more to do with looks.  It's not high on my priority list, more of a random thought that gains traction for a week or 2 then wanders off.  Ok, that's most of my life.  I live a life of whims.  Back to the thing.  How am I going to raise my children to "be happy with what you have" (a phrase that gets repeated really darn often around here but seems to fall on deaf ears) if I can't do the same?  How do I teach my girls that image is a footnote to character?  But I think the thing that really put this topic to rest for me was this:  I imagined having a conversation with God, and He said, "I gave you a thousand perfect things in your life, and instead you chose to focus on the negative.  Why?"  And maybe that wasn't my imagination.  Maybe that was an actual flash of... something.  Anyway, that's what is on my mind tonight.
