The tastes, the scents, the colors of citrus. All of those make me incredibly cheerful and grateful. I feel grateful that I have the ability to see, smell, and taste those citrus things I love so much. Their bright colors and upbeat scents cheer me, which isn't a coincidence btw. It's actually a scent that aromatherapy incorporates on purpose for its elements of stress relief among other benefits. (Click here for more on that.) Citrus makes me so cheerful that I lean toward it in lotions, candles, baking.
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.
