Day 153: Gift Cards

Today the hub and I spent not one but TWO gift cards we had received.  One we received, and no I am not kidding, almost 2 years ago from some friends!  The other I won at my company Christmas party back in December. Both gift cards took us to an area of our city that we don't often get to (thus the almost 2 year wait on redeeming the one) and it was fun. It was fun to enter into a store we hadn't been before and imagine what our sweet friends were thinking for us when they got us this gift card. (The Olive Tap in Manitou, so fun!  I got a Sorrento Lemon Olive Oil and a Jalapeno Olive Oil - delish!)  It was fun to go to a restaurant we usually wouldn't and have a different kind of dining experience than we normally do.  (The Mona Lisa Fondue Restaurant in Manitou, delicious food!)  We were driving home and I felt grateful that we had a fun, out of the norm for us, date and I felt spoiled by it all.

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.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
