You can't stop with just one!

Reading one book is like eating one potato chip. Diane Duane

Raise your hand if you have ever eaten just one single potato chip?

Yeah, I didn't think so!  I don't know of anyone who can eat just one.  And Diane Duane aptly points out in today's quote that reading is just like that.  Reading is addictive.  But why?  Because it opens up worlds of wonder, expanded worldviews, opportunities for further education, reasons to look forward, pleasure and so many other things.  Unlike potato chips, however, reading doesn't add to your hips!  Haha!  

I hope you read.  It doesn't have to be as many books as I read per month, just read!  Find the pleasure in it, allow it to challenge you and introduce you to new-to-you ideas, discover new worlds.  Don't know what to read?  Go to a site like goodreads.com and begin cruising around different genres, find one that interests you, jot down some titles and go to the library.  Want to know what I'm inhaling each month?  You can find my bookshelf and reviews of books I'm reading by clicking here.  

Reading.  Start it and you'll find you can't stop with just one book!

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.
