Tomorrow is my Mama's birthday. I know I've already said I was grateful for my parents but I wanted to single out my Mama (don't worry - Daddy gets his turn too!) in honor of her birthday. I'm so grateful for my Mom. She is one of my dearest friends in addition to being the woman who birthed me and raised me. I'm grateful I get to live in the same area as her, see her almost every weekday morning, have my children know her, watch her pour out herself in acts of service in our community. She's awesome. We've been through some stuff together - she and I (ask me some of our stories, I'm happy to share!) - and we've come out on the other side of them stronger individually and together. My Mom loves Jesus, loves to play games (especially card ones!), quilts, taught me how to love reading, is super involved in ALL of her grandkids lives, and on and on and on. She's a special woman, I love her and I'm so grateful for her.
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.
