This is one of those Gratitude Attitudes that in theory I am grateful for, that with my words I say I am grateful for, and sometimes with my actions I also show that I am grateful for. But I don't always succeed. I say I want diversity, I say that I am grateful for it but when I get pissy because other people won't fall in line and see my point of view on something then I prove I don't really want diversity. Diversity, according to Webster's, means this: the quality or state of having many different forms, types, ideas, etc. Today I read a lot of different view points on a particular subject. I would say that a diverse range of opinions were verbalized. And while approximately half of the diverse opinions broke my heart and made me mad I am sitting here tonight grateful for the diversity we have and the freedom to have those opinions. And I'll be grateful for each situation that pops up that helps me to practice accepting diversity.
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.
