#WordWednesday





On this #WordWednesday I'm thinking about those times when I have been a bit quick to speak, not considering what kind of impact what comes out of my mouth may have on people and/or situations.
Sometimes those words that fly out of my mouth before I have thought them through come back at me years later and I do feel regret. Ugh. It's the worst - wanting to take back what you have said but knowing you cannot. Even apologizing or making it right doesn't erase the words once they have been said. I think this affliction is a lifelong lesson I am engaged in.

If you, like me, aren't always sure if what you are about to say should be said then stop. Stop and think - here's 5 Ways to Help You Choose Your Words Wisely.

And a quick reminder - words said through social media, etc count. Those are actual, real words that have the same impact - if not greater in some instances - as verbal words. Measure those words just as carefully.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
