My Front Porch Looking In

This song came out when I had my own two little "carrot tops" toddling around the house.  I love this song!  I love the heart behind this song and the visual of looking inside the house rather than outside. 

It makes me think about what do I see when I look in rather than out.  These days my carrot tops are in the midst of pre-teen years and no longer are hauling around sippy cups and wearing their shoes backward.  Those days seem like they were so long ago.  When I look in to my house these days I see two carrot tops - one is sitting at the table mixing colors and creating amazing works of art and the other is twirling and dancing and singing at the top of her lungs.  And then there is my hub, he's there giving affirmation, guidance, direction, doing the dishes, paying the bills, being a strong and steady presence in our lives. 

Pikes Peak, which happens to be out my front window, is gorgeous but not near as beautiful as what I see when I'm on my front porch looking in!

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.
