Quordlers
I am one of those people that plays
Wordle and
Quordle every day. (Fortunately for my social media friends, I’m
not one of those people who posts their score every day. To each, their own.) I use the games to jumpstart my brain.
Today, I’m grateful that I do. Quordle reminded me of something very important this morning: That it’s not helpful to take my thoughts too seriously, especially when things aren’t going well.
All the Blerg
I had one of those mornings this morning where I woke up and everything just felt overwhelming and impossible. I did my usual resets - I exercised, took the dogs to the dog park, reached out to friends, did my spiritual exercises - But still found all of the swirly, “This is impossible” feelings weighing on my neck.
In a moment of total BLERG, I went back to the Quordle game I had stepped away from last night because I couldn’t finish that last quarter no matter how hard I tried.
Et Voilà
There it was, right where it had always been. The same message that whispered to me in my thoughts, reinforced by my friends, was now blaring at me with trumpet fanfare: “DUH! INLAY.”
Ok so “Inlay” wasn’t the message itself. The message was that hopelessness and discouragement are fluid. What was completely out of reach at 8:45 am became DUH at 8:46am.
Thanks, Quordle.
