Today he asked her to marry him and she said yes. We gathered and yelled "surprise" when they walked through the door and raised our glasses in celebration to this exciting step my friends have taken. I'm grateful for the promise of the "yes". It's a yes to commitment, a yes to the thick and thin, a yes to growing as an individual and a couple, a yes to the possibilities of family, a yes to being a covenant relationship, a yes that is bursting with the easy and the hard and the in between of life, a yes to living that life together. I'm grateful for the promise of yes and the example it can and does set for others.
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.
