The glow of Joy

Joy is the best makeup. Anne Lamott

 What's that glow?  It's called Joy.  No amount of makeup applied can compete with Joy.  When it comes to women, their makeup can be flawless and beautiful but if they don't have Joy then they look dull and uninspiring.  When it comes to men, their face can be clean shaven - or groomed well - and they can smell good but if they don't have Joy then they are dull and uninspiring.  Joy is for both genders, it does not apply to just one.  Joy transcends the surface of our lives and comes from deep within to bring a glow to our lives.  It is the best accessory, the best makeup, the best practice anyone can incorporate into their lives.  Where does Joy comes from?  How do you find Joy?  It is allowing your days, your very life, to be touched by the simple and small things that come from gratitude.  Being grateful is the beginning of Joy.   It's allowing hard circumstances to be met with something deeper than the surface and letting Joy rise up.  Want to shine?  Glow?  Then allow Joy to permeate your life.

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.
