Wednesday’s Quote of the Week & An Outfit
I know I only shared two Word of the Week posts so far, but I have to admit, I am not a fan. I don’t like it. It was supposed to be an easy post to write but then I found myself getting all stressed trying to come up with a great word for the day. So silly…getting stressed about such a benign thing. So I am bailing on the Word of the Week posts in favor of a Quote of the Week instead. I do love a good quote! And while I do enjoy the etymology of words, stringing a bunch of words together to create magic is way more my speed. So let’s try it this way and see how it goes…
“We are all perfect in our own magnificent, fucked-up ways. Laugh at yourself. Love yourelf and others. Rejoice in the cosmic ridiculousness.” -Jen Sincero (You are a Badass)
The cosmic ridiculousness, indeed!
Do you see how ridiculous the cosmos, the universe, the higher power can be? But do you also see how beautifully wonderful and awesome it is, too? I, for one, am just embracing it all, the sensible and the nonsensical. The paradox of life…
Keeping it on the edge,

Great Quote! Great outfit too.
I have to agree with you Shelbee, I like the quote of the week better. It seems no one reads the dictionary anymore. It’s all good, more dictionaries for me!

Thanks, Susan! Please share all the dictionaries with me though because I still love to read it!

Love that wool vest and the window pane pattern. I put a vneck on insta with that windowpane pattern and maybe it’ll make it to the blog one day. That’s a great quote I love sayings that remind us not to take life too seriously.

Julie, thanks so much! Windowpane prints are so chic, aren’t they? I will have to go check out your IG! And yes, let’s definitely not take life too seriously.

Hello Shelbee,
I agree with you that if something is just causing you some “bad” stress, it’s time to reconsider if it’s worth doing. Doing a quote for the week is a great idea. I love quotes too! And that is an encouraging and feel-good quote you have there! Accepting ourselves and others for what we all are, that’s something that can definitely change the world.
Best,
Sigrid

Sigrid, thanks so much! There are some stressors in life that just are not necessary, so why not eliminate them? It only makes sense. So quotes of the week it will be going forward! A good quote always perks up the day anyway.
