NOT EXACTLY A Wordless Wednesday!!
I am a first class worrier. I have been banned from “Doctor” Google, but still have been known to lie awake late into the night obsessing about things I simply can not change. Dumb, you can’t change people or the world from your bed at 2am! So today, I take a different approach. Today I give you a small but mighty list of things simply not worth worrying about! Today I give you a list of three worries I am letting go!
I will no longer worry about the fact that I am just not a domestic goddess. Those Mamas out there playing the role of Martha Stewart or acting all June Cleaver, they can have that role. I am not that Mama. My house is messy, my kids get dirty, my cat pukes on the floor and I dry heave as I make my girls clean it up. Dinner sometimes gets burnt, but that is why God invented Pizza. Domestic Goddess no, Sassy Mama yes.
I will not worry that with every single headache I get, I lose some brain cells and become even more directionally challenged. I now just accept this to be true. I get dumber with every headache. Maybe this will make me funny?
I will no longer worry if I look fat in these pants. Or those pants, or maybe even that sundress? Frankly, I’m over 40, I have two fabulous girls, a happy marriage and I adore food. I have decided to embrace who I am and let that worry go! I choose to embrace healthy and happy.
I think that is all the worries I can possibly release for today. Can’t stop all at once!
Do you have a worry you can let go of today?
Link up below with your worries or your Wordless Wednesdays!
Life is too short, while your worrying life is passing you by
Did it work? My recurring worry is that my career is going to fail to fully launch… it helps to resolve to put it aside for a day, but it always comes creeping back into my mind.
This was such a motivating post — it would be a nice ‘weekly’ post.
I love your confidence! Girl power!
This post is awesome. Good for you for being happy with you!
lol, it takes true talent to be able to jump to the worst possible conclusion. I know, cause I do it too. 🙂
Thanks again for stopping by Oh My Heartsie today to link up each week, I appreciate it.
I love this post. It is so me. People will say, “oh, don’t worry.” but that is easier said than done for some of us. I appreciate your honesty.
Way to go! I try to stop myself from worrying by remembering the Tom Petty lyrics, “Most things I worry about, never happen anyway.” ;D

Some time WW needs to have a ton of words. That is just fine. Thanks for linking. Your blog is fun and nice, too.
I agree with Mail Rosey, yes they are. Moms dont live in a perfect wrld and life happens, I relate to the cat puking! Inviting you to Wordless Wednesday w The Cat
Parents everywhere are relating. 🙂
This is the second post I have read about the horrible Miss A for Anxiety! Its horrible isn’t it! It’s so good that you have shacken some of her off!
I need to stop worrying about how I look… I won’t, but I really need to!
I have SO much trouble letting things go – Web MD is my nemesis.
Hey there,
I saw you on wordless wednesday bloghop and thought I would stop by and say hello.
I can relate to all you have just said, I am a fellow worrier.
Thanks for posting this, it is refreshing for such a topic to be discussed (although brief) so openly. It is hard for me to even mention my anxiety in my life as most don’t understand and tried to explain to me that I just need to breathe and I will be fine (if only).
Thanks again, your words inspired me to try to not sweat the small stuff, especially the kids/cleaning situation, when my kids are older I will be bored and have an immaculate house, for now I am really enjoying all the chaos and happiness it all brings to my life.
