Brand New Day

It's a brand new day.  Aren't you glad that we get new days?  Like literally!  And figuratively!  In Lamentations it says that his compassions and mercies are new every morning!  Yippee!! 
I picked this song for two reasons. 
1)  I needed the reminder today that it's a brand new day.  Like I've said before, poor Mondays.  They get such a bad rap.  It's unfortunate that I happened to wake up today, on a Monday, out of sorts.  It's not Monday's fault but it sure would be easy to blame Monday!  :)  The only part of today's song that applies to this reason is, "I can hear you say it's a brand new day."  Actually considering how my day is going I really need that message tomorrow as well in hopes tomorrow doesn't repeat today!  Ha! 
2)  I'm still emerging from my "losing streak" that hit me so hard I haven't been able to speak from the past couple of years.  And I have often needed the reminder from God that it's a brand new day and his compassions and mercies are fresh for me every morning.  Yet in the dark days I always had the light of God within me bringing assurance, glimmers of hope, etc.  And in all the dark he showed me who I am, I mean who I really and truly am in his sight.  And each day that I live as he sees me is a brand new day indeed!

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.
