Wisdom…Sometimes

Oh, my goodness! With traveling and visiting with family (and not carrying my laptop with me), I never got to posting a second time last week. I’m sorry and hopefully this post will make up for it (and I’ll see if I can’t get some posts in the queue, too). This week’s quote is another of my favorites from a wonderful author.

"Wisdom is better than wit." Jane Austen

“Wisdom is better than wit.” Jane Austen

I quite like this quote (and was fairly pleased by how my calligraphy turned out, though that does remind me that I need to bring some more calligraphy supplies to my office). I’m not one of those people who are always quick with a joke or a retort, so this quote gives me comfort that it is okay. And I do try to display some wisdom and hope I’m getting better with age. Or, to paraphrase Neil Gaiman, if you can’t be wise, just pretend and do what a wise person would do! (Good idea for another week’s quote to calligraphy, too!) 🙂

The best, of course, would be to have both wit and wisdom. But life is messy and hardly ever turns out as neatly as a story in the end, so all we can do is try. So try to be wise and who knows, maybe one day we’ll be witty, too.

I hope your July is going wonderfully well and you have time to relax and dream. Because, of course, in your great wisdom you know that relaxation is just as important as getting all your chores done and sometimes we all work better after a nap. 🙂
