Day 5: Challenged Perspective

This morning a friend posted a video on her FB wall and I had a few minutes to kill so I decided to give it a go.  Wow.  It was/is so powerful that it makes my Gratitude Attitude for today.
This true story challenges my "woe is me" perspective that sometimes I get stuck in and muck around in.  It prompts in me a gratefulness for my life but also for people like Jeffery Wright who take what life offers and make the absolute most of it.  We need people, whether we know of them personally or hear about their stories through the grapevine, in our lives to challenge our perspectives and get us to see the good in life.

Watch this story, it is worth the 12 minutes.  I hope, like it did with me, that it will challenge your perspective, because we all need a reboot from time to time.

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.
