Day 24: Literacy

If you know me well you know how much I love to read and how much I read! In fact, if you didn't know, I post my bookshelf once a month and what I thought of the books I read for that month.  You can check that out here.
Anyway.
*Today* (a day late on the whole daily thing but yesterday I was WIPED out, no energy to even get online) I am so grateful for not just my literacy but the literacy of others. What a true gift to yourself to be able to write and read. When I think of those who have been denied this privilege I feel sad for them because it's not just for pleasure that one should know how to write and read but it is fro a future.
In fact, as I thought more about it I decided that instead of just feel sad for those who can't write and read why not help them?  Why not share my gratitude and help someone else learn?  So I'm pursuing volunteering in my area to help introduce someone else to literacy.
What can you do with your gratefulness today? Is there a way you can share it?

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.
