For Sunday, August 12: It's there, just flip it to on!

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.  Albus Dumbledore (aka J.K. Rowling!)

Ever been amazed at someone who able to be happy in the midst of really dark times?  It's because they flipped the light on.  It's because  they are privy to a secret that we need to know as well.  The secret?  Happiness is found in all places of life.  Even in hard, dark moments.  Maybe most especially in hard, dark moments.  Happiness without depth is fleeting but happiness that is deep is coveted.  It's the difference between two terminally ill patients - one who is at peace and smiling and generous with everyone around them and the other who is angry and mean to everyone around them.  The first flipped the switch to on, the second couldn't find the switch.
Happiness is there.  It's yours for the taking. Just flip the switch to on.

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.
