Day 242: Based on/Inspired by

Tonight the hub and I watched a movie that was "inspired by true events in the life of..."  I realized we watch a lot of these kinds of movies.  Ones that have been inspired by or based on the events of someones life. And it occurred to me that I am grateful for people who live lives of inspiration and someone hears about it and uses that to inspire others.  I need to be reminded of life lived with a purpose.  I need the reminder to not give up on my own dreams or ideas to better the lives of those around me.  I need to be reminded that sometimes wild dreams do come true.  I need to be challenged to step outside of myself and do something that betters the life of others.  I've watched so many of these kinds of movies I'm not sure if I have a favorite but do you?  Do these kinds of movies inspire and challenge you as well?

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.
