So I'm working a full time job with benefits for the first time since I was married. I kinda forgot about the perks of working full time - like a paycheck, medical benefits, vacation time - you know the little things. *grin* I really don't care too much about those sorts of things and so because of that I kind of forget about them most of the time. I knew I had vacation time but I thought it was date of hire "year" rather than calendar year. SURPRISE! It's calendar year which I found out just 4 days ago. Yep, I've got 68 hours of time to use or lose by December 31. WOW!! So I put in for time off per my boss and still have 28 hours to use or lose. Raise your hand if you think I'm probably going to lose some hours. *hand held high in air* But how cool is that? I feel so grateful that next year I can take a mental health day here and there, there's a few "spiritual health" days I plan on taking as well. And I can get paid for them. Super cool! When my brother marries his love in August I can take the time I need and be paid for it! Grateful indeed.
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.
