Day 311: Learning New Facts

I love learning new facts. And I'm grateful for learning new things. Life would be boring if we never learned past a certain point. So I love learning new things because it expands my mind, helps me develop more of a objective perspective depending on subject, and let's be honest - it's fun to learn new things, share them with others, and look a little bit like a smarty. :) Today I learned that Carolyn Keene, the author of the Nancy Drew books, is not one person or even two people but a whole team of people authored those books throughout the years*! Women and men! It blew my mind! But how fun to know that now. What new fact have you learned recently that fascinated you?

*The same is true of The Hardy Boys also!

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.
