Wednesday Wisdom back at ya! I started thinking about this reoccurring post theme and I realized to some of you I may seem like I am trying to tote myself as some mindful human being who walks around giving advice like a martyr. I am not. Honestly, the origin of my Wednesday Wisdom post series came out of pure therapy for me. You see I am a words kind of gal. My love language is Words of Affirmation. So, it is only fitting that when I need a boast in energy, confidence or confirmation that all will be okay, I turn to words.

When I get down on myself, stressed and frustrated I always find myself on Pinterest, thumbs ferociously searching for a quote, a sign, a line or two that make me sigh in relief and even on occasion, cry in hope or exhaustion. My only intent with Wednesday Wisdom is to share with you what I have found inspiring throughout the week.

I don’t know why I am explaining myself. This is my here blog, I do what I want. But, you will also find as you read along with me and my life journeys I tend to put weight on what others think. It truly is a terrible trait.

Wednesday Wisdom

June 17, 2015

Without getting into too much detail I must say the past three weeks have been like a giant tornado. I feel like I am grasping for items, while trying to stay grounded as the wind comes swirling around me. There have been so many ups and downs and so many tense, stressful, sleepless nights. I have contemplated my purpose, contemplated my worth and contemplated how to do it all and keep everything a priority. Basically, I am complaining right now and basically I am spent. Life is so unpredictable. I know this. While, I whine about the chaos and sadness that has been a part of my life, I am reminded just how lucky and blessed I am. I know that my crazy, chaos would be welcomed by someone who has it far worse. When I get super down on myself I look around me. I have a roof over my head, food in the refrigerator, a great support system, a loving husband and sweet, healthy, baby girl. I am grateful. For these things, life is good. No, life is great.

It’s back. Wednesday Wisdom coming at ya’.

There is a quote that my Dad often says to me in times of chaos, stress or anxiety. You may have heard it before. It is pretty famous.

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” – Reinhold Niebuhr

You know you would think after all these years that I would know that when I turn to him out of worry or just to vent he would repeat the words above. I mean he is a man of few words to begin with so I don’t know why I expect more. Worry and stress never seem to fleet me and yet instead of learning my lesson and just saying those words in my head, because you know, I have them memorized, I still find myself turning to him. Maybe the comfort just exists in hearing his voice say the words. Yeah, that is it. I am going to go with that.

Is it just me or do Wednesdays seem to really be a breaking point in the week? I think it is the momentum from Monday crashing with the excitement of the soon-to-be weekend that leaves me feeling unrest. I had so much fun putting together my first Wednesday Wisdom post and promised more to come. Not every week, but when the time felt right and darnit… the time feels right.

So, if you are fighting any internal battles, not your best self or are searching for the words to turn your day, week or even month around; hopefully, one of these may strike your fancy and bring a new attitude and pep in your step.

Here is to Wednesday! May you be the catalyst for great things ahead.

By the way, the last picture is by far one of my top favorite quotes! It just makes me smile.

Wednesday Wisdom

February 25, 2015

Well we made it folks… halfway through the work week. It was a big and rough week for me as I returned to the workforce after my Maternity Leave. Was it hard? Absolutely! Have I cried? Well, was Vanilla Ice a one-hit-wonder?

Yes! Of course. I cried! A lot.

The worst part was the days leading up to my return. The best way to describe it is as follows… imagine an amazing vacation, a vacation in paradise, the perfect vacation, a vacation you dreamed about and waited so long for. Now imagine the last day of that perfect world. You know that feeling? The dreaded countdown. This is our last night, last lunch, last sunset, last day without a care in the world… until we return next year. Now take that thought and multiple it by 100. No, maybe 200. Dramatic? Nah! The gut wrenching pain is real.

I have found comfort in quotes through multiple points in my life. Whether it has been times of happiness or pain; quotes have provided me with the eloquent words I wish I could say. So, it was no exception that as I struggled with my emotions, I found myself searching the Internet (I told you I was a Professional Googler – See Here) for something to grasp and make me feel better.

It is amazingly simple but therapeutic, so I thought I would share some that stuck out to me this week as I searched for the right things to think or say. I call this post Wednesday Wisdom. I do not plan on doing this every week, but here and there on Wednesdays when the urge calls. Hopefully, one of these will resonate with you. And, maybe, just maybe it will be the simple thing you need to get through anything that may be nagging at you.

Have a great week, friends!
