For Wednesday, March 20: Change

Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.  Jacob M. Braude

BOY HOWDY!  Isn't this the truth?!  I have enough trouble trying to change things about myself much less trying to change another person.  Besides, it's not my job to change others.  If I focus on others then that means I am not focused on myself and myself is the only person I should be working on.  Same goes for *you*.  What could be or would be different if we all focused on ourselves and the changes we know we need to make in our own lives?  Improvements to our self usually means we settle down and quit nitpicking on others.  What a relief for them and us!

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.
