Day 218: Foundations

Have you ever thought about foundations? I was just thinking today about how grateful I am for the foundations set up in my life. Obviously one of them is the literal foundation our home sits on.  It's kinda, well, necessary!  But what I was really thinking about were the other kind of foundations in my life.  Like the one of faith. It's important to know that I was birthed straight into the church nursery and through the years the Church and I have had our ups and downs but God and I haven't, he is truly my firm foundation. Another foundation in my life is that of having an education and a big part of that is being literate. Literacy affects all areas of education, even mathematics since you need to know how to read in order to complete certain kinds of math! A foundation in my life has been that of my parents staying married through the rocky times - their willingness to work through issues, stay together, and provide a model of "marathon marriage" for their children and grandchildren.  Those are the ones that immediately came to my mind when I was thinking about foundations, what about you?  What foundations in your life are you grateful for?

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.
