Parfait

Parfait (Fr.)/ Perfect (eng.) Adj.:

  • Lacking nothing essential to the whole; complete of its nature or kind.
  • Being without defect or blemish.
  • Completely suited for a particular purpose or situation.
  • Excellent or complete beyond practical or theoretical improvement.
  • Exactly fitting the need in a certain situation or for a certain purpose.
  • Accurate, exact, or correct in every detail.


Did you ever have one of those days when everything just seemed perfect? I am having one of those days today, and it is only noon.

I woke up to the sun shining into my Parisian apartment, made a perfect cup of coffee, had an inspiring conversation with a dear friend, took a walk to pick up a croissant, and there it was... as if to say, today is your day. A window full of all white flowers. In my perfect world, I am surrounded by only white flowers, and the florist on my corner mirrored back this sentiment.

I realize that perfection is a state of mind. And to maintain perfection is to accept everything that happens or will happen as being exactly as it should be. So with that in mind, I am off to continue my perfect day.

I am just a big fan of parfaits in general. DQ Peanut Buster Parfait? I'm down. Missing you even more than the PB Parfait!
