I knew when I started #WooWooWednesdays that I was committing myself to writing once a week about how The Woo is showing up in my life. I expected these events to be HUGE and AMAZING and LIFE CHANGING. After all, this is The Woo we’re talking about.
What I’ve realized is that the way The Woo shows up in my life isn’t always going to be huge, incredible, and life changing. It can’t be. That would be insane.
Rather, The Woo is also going to make its presence known in subtle ways throughout the day. This week, The Woo showed up:
- In my decision to walk back into my bedroom before heading out the door — and seeing the headset that I needed lying on my nightstand, just waiting to be thrown into my work bag.
- In my spur-of-the-moment decision to walk into a store and then immediately seeing a dress that I loved. The dress was my size, in my price range, fit perfectly and was exactly what I’d been looking for to wear to an upcoming event.
- During a long drive home. I was expecting rain and windshield wipers, but instead, I was greeted by blue skies peaking out from behind the clouds. I got on the road just as the rain showers ended.
And The Woo showed up today, in a post by a friend on Instagram who shared a quote she heard on a podcast. She’s not sure if this is a quote by Ross Gay or he was quoting someone else, but either way, she said the words stopped her in her tracks.
“It is negligence not to acknowledge the things that delight you.”
And with that, I am acknowledging The Woo — in its big and small ways — because it continues to delight me.
