Be Careful What You Wish For
Hey People!
I’ll go ahead and say it. Wednesday kinda sucked.
First thing, I hopped on the scale - bad idea. Do not do this. I figured it couldn’t be correct, and I headed to the kitchen to make some coffee. I sat down at my computer, ready to start my day; caffeine was on the way.
Oh! Neat! A message from someone I work with came through.
Give me a better intro. You’re a better writer than this.
Damn. Okay.
Let me first say that this person wasn’t wrong. The intro I wrote could’ve been better. I am a better writer than that. I was bummed because I felt like I let myself down. But, this is what I wanted. I wanted to write all the time and work for different people so I could learn, even if it was hard.
So, here I am.
I took the advice, added it to my list, and headed out the door to walk my dog. I was rushing to get him to the groomer. The groomer is very far away, but that is a story for another day. I took my computer with me and headed out east.
I got very little work done that day as I was rushing around to dog appointments and driving all over town. Thankfully when my husband came home from work, he made an excellent chicken soup, and I got some work done.
Hooray for noise-canceling headphones!
In what felt like a deep breath, the day ended better than it started.
We all know that saying -
Be careful what you wish for; you just may get it.
That’s how it’s going. I’m grateful that I get to write and learn and do something new every day but it isn’t easy. Life isn’t always easy, but that’s how we grow.
We get out of our comfort zone. We feel stupid. We let ourselves down or schedule too much, and then we regroup and do it better.
If you’re feeling like this too, it’s okay. Tomorrow will be totally different. An opportunity may come out of left field and surprise you. For now, be kind to yourself and drink a glass of water. You know you could use a glass. So could I.

A regular hangout for me is LinkedIn. If you spend any time there at all, connect with me!
The group of people that show up there every day is fantastic! I advocate for the retail sector there, write about leadership, and occasionally make people laugh.
Check it.
Whatever you get up to this weekend, I hope it makes you happy. If you’re working, take an extra break and get some sun on your face. If you’re off, don’t plan too much. Leave some time to kick your feet up with a mug of tea or coffee or whiskey. Whatever! Permit yourself to rest.
And if you have a day as I did on Wednesday, know that you’re not alone. We all have days like that. Hug a friend. Pet your pets. Until next time.
Peace,
Kit

Ugh! How I hate those days that go wrong all down the line! Sorry you had one and it helps to read your thoughts and remember we aren't alone.
Funny enough, I had a similar Wednesday. Hired to do some editing, so I did it. The client responded that they only wanted "suggestions." Um, okay...
