I was five and at a birthday party at Wendy's. This was the Wendy's that had tables that looked like old-time advertisements which I was always fascinated by and felt sad when they went away. But I digress. Back to the point. I was five and I'm pretty sure I had not seen anyone do this yet but I thought to myself, "Huh. I wonder what a french fry dipped in the chocolate frosty would taste like." So I dipped. And fell in love for the rest of my life. To this day I consider the combo to be a comfort food. While I am not a big fan of chocolate overall I am also a fan of the peanut butter and chocolate combo. That also is like comfort food for me. The sweet and salty combo I consider to be God's gift to us. I'm grateful for it. I know, that seems so...shallow. But somedays you just need some comfort and God is good to provide it in a myriad of ways. Today it was the sweet and salty combo of a frosty and fries.
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.
