Some people have asked me what the meaning behind Pink Wednesday is aka Pink Weds so I thought I would share its story!
6 years ago when I started working in offices during college I just felt like I needed something to get me through the week, something to celebrate and mark a special day and just something to look forward to every week. So I started wearing Pink on Wednesdays, every Weds. And I have done it every Weds for the past 6 years! Every office I have worked at I have gotten people to participate and now at school we are getting our students involved. Starting this summer we're going to tell all of the classes about it and get as many people involved as we can. Its just a fun little thing to do.
Weds is really the roughest day of the week. You’re smack dab in the middle with no end in sight, but instead of looking at it as a bad thing, we celebrate Pink Weds. ( Did you know that Weds is actually the top day for suicides? Its a fact! ) Pink is a very uplifting color and brightens things up. And by celebrating it we focus on the fact that the week is almost done and we will make it through! Once you get through Weds its really a free fall into the weekend. It just really seems to cheer people up. And It really does seem to give people a sense of community. Its just a great fun thing to do!
So I encourage you as next Weds approaches, jump in on the Pink Weds love!
