It's one thing to say that I am grateful for my favorite kind of beverage, pastry, etc. But the reason I am thankful for those delicious-to-me things is because of taste buds. I am so grateful for taste buds! Taste buds bring delight to our mouths and also "warn" us when something isn't good or right in our mouths. My Grandpa, years ago, had mumps and one of the lasting side effects of his sickness was he lost his sense of smell which affected his taste buds (they are connected). Since then he can't taste anything (or smell anything). I always feel sad for him that he can't taste the yummy foods he is partaking of. (Sidenote: When I was a little girl and didn't know this about him yet I would watch him eat Raisin Bran with Cranberry juice and think "ew!" and then I found out he couldn't taste it. Well no wonder he ate it then!) But I have slightly digressed. The next time you taste something delicious take a moment to be grateful for your taste buds.
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.
