Day 222: Humble Pie

Today I was grateful for humble pie.  I had to eat some and in all honesty it's good for the soul to eat a little humble pie every now and then.  I'm grateful for it because it keeps any inflated ego I have in check.  It keeps me from thinking I have "arrived" or that I am so spectacular that others are beneath me in some way. It's even better when I can laugh while partaking of the humble pie.  And the things that bring us humility don't have to be big, they can be as small and seemingly insignificant as totally destroying a cake, when normally baking is something that *you* rock at!  Have you eaten any humble pie lately?  Did it occur to you to be grateful for it?  

Here's the visual of my humble pie:

    My humble pie is always during worship when I start thinking about how much I love singing, but I am not really thinking about God and what I am saying and then I totally hit the wrong key. That is when I realize that what I am doing isn't about me. It's about the one I am singing about.

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.
