Thanks-living

Thanksgiving creates abundance.  Ann Voskamp

When we live a grateful life we create abundance.  Nothing may change in circumstances but we suddenly see the abundance that surrounds us.  Get outside of the box of what our world says abundance is.  It is not material possessions. It is relationships.  It is not quantity.  It is quality.  (That applies to relationships as well btw.)  It is not standing on the top rung of the corporate ladder (which frankly is quite wobbly these days anyway).  It is standing on the top rung of living a life defined by integrity.  Those are just a few examples that came to mind this morning as I reflect, along with our nation, on thanksgiving.  
In your own life how does living thankfully create abundance?  How have you seen thanks-living expand your life?  If you lack abundance in your life you may want to reflect on how you are living - thankfully or not?  It's not too late, it's never too late, to turn it around.  Live thankfully and you live abundantly.

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.
