Have you ever been in the middle of something and realized you've been doing it wrong but it is too late to turn it around and fix it? So then you have to figure out a workable solution? This could apply to cooking, baking, an organizational task, a work task, parenting, make up application, etc. When the workable solution works out and even takes it a step further and improved the original thing I call it a happy accident because suddenly those nerves that it would be awful turn to butterflies of happiness that 1) it worked and 2) it's even better! I love happy accidents and actually I am grateful for them. I think we all need happy accidents to help us expand our boxes that we can get stuck in. Some of my happy accidents have led me to taking greater risks with cooking, etc. I'm grateful for the happy accidents that give me reward from a "mistake" and help me to grow in other ways. Have you had a happy accident lately that made you grateful?
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.
