For Saturday, January 19: Happiness is...

Happiness is a fresh baked cookie.  Otis Spunkmeyer

 If you are familiar with Otis Spunkmeyer cookies then you know that happiness, for him, is indeed a fresh baked cookie and he shares that happiness with others.  I happen to agree with him because I am a "cookie monster" but it got me to thinking.  How would I finish the statement "Happiness is..."?  What's happiness for me?  What's happiness for you?  And once you know what it is, do you share it with others?
There's actually quite a few things that make me happy.  (Different than joy btw, and that's a different blog)  Baking makes me very happy.  And part of the happiness I get from it is sharing it with others.  (This is how Otis and relate.)  Reading makes me happy.  I don't share it with others by reading to them but I do share books I love with others and share what I think of the books I read with others.  (Check out my Bookworm blog here.)  Giving gifts of all shapes and sizes makes me happy and while I don't get to do it as often as I would like or want to when I do I am wildly happy to put a smile, hopefully, on another person's face and in their heart.
So I guess I can't finish off the statement "Happiness is..." with just one thing but I do know I can share what makes me happy with others.  How about you?

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.
