Day 288: Shared Experiences

(For Tuesday June 10)

Tonight at cook group we spent a lot of it laughing about our shared experiences in pregnancy, labor, and motherhood. I'm so grateful for people that I have shared experiences with - be it parenting or traveling or reading a book or whatever. It eases a particular kind of loneliness when I remember that there are others who have experienced similar things. Having a shared experience builds a bridge for relationship to happen on some level - even if the shared experience wasn't great. I think back on all the shared experiences I have had and I am so grateful that I could contact a number of people today and say, "Hey remember when..." and we would instantly be connected again in some way.

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.
