Day 207: Comfort Foods

Today I am thinking about comfort foods and even though food on the whole is a double-edged sword for me I am feeling grateful for comfort foods today.  I've alluded to one of my staple comfort foods before, on day 81.  But since that was a specific comfort food and this is generalizing them I figure it counts for another day.  Besides, it's my blog and my rules so I can do it if I wanna!  *wink*
But back to today's Gratitude Attitude.  Tomorrow I am making Cracker Barrel like hash-brown casserole. C'mon,  That is comfort food like no other.  Falling into that category, for me, would also be day 81 (see link above), chicken pot pie, jasmine green tea (sweetened), warm breads, my Mama's lasagna, mashed potatoes, cookies (homemade, none of this store bought crap).
Food shouldn't be my comfort, I get that. But sometimes it is, that's the reality. I reiterate what I said on day 81 - sometimes you just need the comfort of something that tastes good and can serve to ground unsettling emotions (or at least bury them - haha. I'm just kidding, sheesh.)
What about you? What are your go-to comfort foods?

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.
