Today I was grateful for spontaneity, which I rarely practice given my Type A tendencies. But every so often I can, and do, embrace it and am always pleasantly surprised at what happens when I allow it. Today was definitely one of those days. My friend, Stephanie, that I am visiting here in Seattle along with her daughter Emily and myself headed to EMP for a day of museum indulging. We had tickets for a 5 pm Duck tour so we were planing on taking our time. But then. Then riding up in an elevator from the parking garage the people next to us mentioned BrickCon going on right there. We three eyed each other for about 10 seconds and said, "Let's go! We'll still have time for EMP" and off we went to search out BrickCon, which is awesome because Lego's are awesome. On our way to BrickCon we heard about another festival, the Northwest Tea Festival on the same grounds. That was another no brainer, we three love tea! We squeezed in lunch at a place none of us had ever been, Pie, and still managed to fit a highlights of EMP into our suddenly crazy day before heading off to the Ducks. It was all so spontaneous and ended up being so much fun. Embracing spontaneity is good for this Type A heart.
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.
