Brand New Day

Uh, Beth?  You did this song already...yesterday.  You okay? 
HA!  I'm just fine - same title, different song and artist! :) 
Sense a theme for the week? 

Admittedly I live in a bit of a bubble so Joshua Radin may not be new to you but I have never heard of him or his music until this morning.  Yesterday when I was pulling up on YouTube "Brand New Day" I saw a bunch of artists who have songs with the same title so I thought I'd check into some of them this week.  So we'll see how many days I can pull the same title but yet different song/artist.  :)  This morning when I pulled it up Joshua Radin presented himself, I listened, I liked, and so he's the featured artist today!  I love a guy who can play the guitar with seemingly no effort.  It's like they are connected and it flows so beautifully.  Radin is that kind of guitar player. 

First thing I thought of when listening to this song is the word from God in Psalm about weeping that will last through the night but joy that will come in the morning.  It's not literal every time.  Sometimes it truly is a real time night and morning but in life, more often than not, the nights lasts a while and then morning eventually breaks.  That's what this song makes me think of.  Radin sings about feeling good, finally, after such a long, long time of not feeling happy.  The feeling that you have when you finally witness daybreak in your heart is hard to describe.  It's a relief, among other things.  The amazing thing is that God is with you, with me, in the night of weeping and in the morning of joy.

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.
