3-Word Wisdom 14: Know your limits

Daylight Savings Time went into effect yesterday, and I am cranky – I lost an hour this weekend. I am not a fan of this time change – at least not for the first week, when I struggle to reset my biological clock each morning.

As for today’s wisdom, I have none – and I thought I might get away with blaming it on the loss of the “spring forward” hour. Instead I realize that the stories I am sharing are not as simple to put into words as I thought they might be. I have several drafts of wisdom in the works, but today the words did not flow, and I was not prepared to post something that I wasn’t proud of. I was struggling with my 30-in-30 challenge, and my decision was to acknowledge my impasse.

My default 3-Word Wisdom: Know your limits. Be honest with yourself when you reach a point at which you have stretched yourself thin. Take time to regroup. I am going to take a few deep breaths and step away. I’m going to bed now – still trying to find that lost hour!

  1. Paula, today's entry may have been shorter than the rest, but it was just as wise! Thanks for the reminder. Nighty night and sweet dreams.

  2. Yesterday I was just thinking about how hard it would be to commit to a post for 30 days. ...and then u even come up with one when u don't have one. U r good. BTW-I am already starting to figure out a way to get u to keep this up after your birthday. I've grown accustom to looking for this daily.

  3. I can so relate to this, and most every blog....cept the shoe one.... too many choices of shoes, makes me crazy....( altho, I must admit, some of those shoes they have out now, if I was younger and thinner....I would be strutting around in them) now I go for comfort....birks, dansko, tennis......not very sexy, but I do have me a pair of FM boots......

    anyhoo.....I just experienced this of late, and sometimes, you just have to "shut it down, and re-group" and give yourself the permission to do just that.....

    mama said there'd be daze like this.....
