Day 337: Home away from Home

(For Tuesday July 29)

We traveled to NYC today to begin a week full of celebrating the wedding and marriage of my brother, Brad. When we landed tonight we cabbed to a new-to-us apartment, my sister-in-love's, on the Upper West Side. We are used to heading to the Upper East Side to my other brother's place but this trip we are filling up all the spaces! We walked into this new-to-us space and I felt at home. I felt at home because it was a space infused by people I love, people I have the honor of calling family. It made me grateful that no matter where I am in this world when my family is with me that place is like a home away from home. My family is the foundation of any home in any place.

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.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
