I'm stalled out. I've had a string of days where nothing particularly good, bad, or even in between happened that I haven't already mentioned in the previous 234 days. I feel like I am scraping the bottom of the barrel and nothing is coming up. How SAD is this? How SAD is it that I can't come up with something, not previously mentioned, to be grateful for? I'm behind four days at this point and I sit here thinking and drawing a total blank. Even leaning upon Ann Voscamp's Love Dares has me high and dry. Truth be told some of them require a little deeper thinking than I really want to do right now and some just don't...work for me. Has the well of gratefulness run dry? I certainly hope not. I can't imagine that it has. If it has then that is more SAD than being stalled out for a few days! This is the challenge of a 365, and for me in particular this theme of 365. The moments of having nothing to put out there, of not being inspired one iota, of searching for content and coming up empty handed are frustrating. I'm thinking of a scene (or two or three) in Julie & Julia (if you recall from waaaaaaaaaaaay back to my first 365 that is where this idea was born from - a friend who did it and then I jumped on as well) in which Julie has a meltdown because she can't truss up the chicken correctly. I feel a meltdown coming on when I'm staring at four days of being unable to verbalize any gratefulness for anything! But just like Julie has a breakthrough in the movie so I know at some point I will have a breakthrough as well. So until then.
The Feast of Firstfruits & Easter Go for Broke Day If it scares you this is the day to go for it no matter what. One Day Without Shoes Day Today is to raise global awareness for children’s health and education. Why shoes? Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement. However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term. We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well. I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...
