Day 162: Healthy Fear

Today I realized I was grateful for healthy fear.  You know what I mean?  The kind of fear that keeps you just enough cautious, alert, sober minded when the circumstance calls for it.  Like driving on roads that are horrible due to polar vortex weather*. That's just an example off the top of my head. :) But in all seriousness healthy fear is something I am grateful for because it keeps me thinking clearly, it gives me a focus when one is needed, it puts into me a necessary amount of sobriety (of spirit people, sheesh! haha) that the circumstance requires.  And because of healthy fear I'm apt to make wiser decisions in the critical moments.
What about you?  Have you ever thought about being grateful for healthy fear before?

*Sidenote: Remember when this same kind of weather was called El Nino?  *wink*

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.
