Letting Hope move in

The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.  Barbara Kingsolver

Hope.  The word holds promise, anticipation, expectations, confidence.  What do you Hope for?  Have you figured it out?  Life lacks sparkle when we have no Hope.  We all Hope.  It's impossible for us not too but sometimes the Hope scares us so we try to deny we have any.  But it's there.  Skating around the edges of your heart and breathing life that you need into your soul.  It's the denial of its existence that causes us to live outside of it.  Don't do that.  Allow it to infuse you, allow it to whisper to you.   Let it live in you and you in it.  Too often we look at Hope as something for others, unattainable, inaccessible so we stay far away from it.  It's like the house in our own neighborhood that we drive by everyday and admire but think we can't or don't deserve to live in it.  Not true.  We can live in Hope, we should live in Hope.  We should let it move into us and give our lives the sparkle they need.

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.
