Years ago, after coming home from work a little stressed and worn down from office politics, I was presented with a ceramic duck. ‘Put this on your desk, and look at it every time you need to’. Wise words indeed.
In the hustle and bustle of life, there are always going to be moments where you may be criticised, or when something happens that is nobodies fault, but you feel bad about it.
I drop things – and after a long day at work, looking at a plate crashed on the floor, can really get me down. No matter what it is at work or home, big or small just remember, it is like water off a duck’s back. Let it slide right off.
I love this photo of one of the Westport ducks along the river walk. I no longer have a ceramic duck on my desk – I gifted it to my colleagues, but I have the image in my head.
Thanks for reading this Wednesday quote post.

What a good post! It’s nice that you gifted the ceramic duck to a colleague! Nice way to stay positive 🙂
I think many of us could do with a ceramic duck!
