Sometimes we are the someone. Sometimes the someone is, well, someone else!

Take time today to appreciate someone who does something you take for granted.  Unknown

Everyday there are things happening all around us that we don't really see.  We've gotten so used to seeing them take place that we no longer actually see them.  You know what I mean?  For example, a public restroom.  We are used to having paper towels and toilet paper in them.  We don't necessarily know where they come from, they are just there.  Ahem.  Someone put them there.  Right?  Oh yeah, now you might be remembering that nothing gets done in life without someone doing it - putting a little effort in.  When was the last time you showed some appreciation, some gratitude, to someone who does something for you that you don't think much about but use?  Sure it might be their job BUT appreciation is still a good thing to show.  Place yourself in their shoes.  In fact, I'm willing to bet you are in their shoes in a different way!  What do you do that others use and probably take for granted and a little appreciation might be nice?  See?  It's a circle.  We are the users and the providers in various ways.  Nothing gets done in this life without someone doing it.  Sometimes we are the someone, sometimes the someone is, well, someone else!  What can you do today to really see what takes place around you and show some appreciation to those who make it happen?

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
