Only Getting Started

Too often it is like Steven Curtis Chapman crawled inside my head and heart and life and wrote songs about what he observed. This song is, well, me! With each new year and decade of my life (haha, it's funny that I can talk about my life in decades! Sheesh...) I kind of think, "Well maybe I get some stuff now," and then God goes and shows me that nope, I don't get much of anything, I'm only getting started. :) Philippians 1:6 is a oft quoted fave verse of mine that basically says what God starts he will finish in me, in you, in his creation. So while I might think it is a little late to be getting started on some things at 36, the timing according to God's perspective is just right! :) Even though I have grown up learning about God and getting to know him, when I turned 30 God really sent me the message that I was just getting started, it's been quite a ride so far! :)

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.
