Day 289: Filters

Today I took my first ever, and probably last ever, selfie.  And I filtered the heck out of it.  Every filter Instagram offered I employed in some way.  And then I looked okay. :) With filters.  Too bad I can't filter the real me on days that I am feeling too raw. Ha!
I got to thinking about filters and I realized I am grateful for them! I'm grateful for camera filters that make me look a little better and make other pictures I take look a little more cleaner.  I'm grateful for filters for the coffee pot so I'm not drinking/chewing coffee grounds.  I'm grateful for the filters we have on our furnace that help trap the junk floating in the air and keep it a little cleaner. I'm grateful for filters that sift bacteria and other contaminants from our water so it is consumable. And I'm grateful for the filter of God's word that when I apply it to my life it helps me to sift out the flesh so the Spirit can be seen and heard.

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.
