Today I received a handwritten note in the mail. With today's technology handwritten notes are almost like a myth from ancient times. :) In fact, in the past few months I have received 3 handwritten notes from 3 friends. I feel so grateful for the time they took to write an encouraging note to me, address an actual envelope, use a real stamp, and mail it. Let's face it, it is so much easier to jot off an email and the same words can be said and be meaningful but to see a friend's handwriting is special and makes me feel grateful for these people in my life who wanted to encourage me in a very personal way. Is there someone you can send a handwritten note to?
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.
