Today I was listening to a favorite artist of mine, Melanie Penn, who happens to sing a favorite song of mine, Ordinary Day. (Video below) I love the song because it's about the Holy Spirit but you don't quite know that at first listen. Anyway, I was listening to the song this morning and reflecting on the Holy Spirit and realizing how grateful I am for him in my life. I am grateful for the guidance, the discernment, the warning the Holy Spirit provides me. I have relied on him to be my internal compass in my life and have yet to be directed wrong when I have heeded his direction. I love Penn's description of the Holy Spirit as he dances throughout our days and makes his presence known in a "million" different ways. It reminds me to be more aware of his presence in my days because he is there.
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.
