Today's Gratitude Attitude is the fruit of a prayer I uttered last night. Go ahead and say that *you* don't believe in the power or reality of prayer but I've had too many times where my prayers have been answered to deny the power of them. (And btw, not all of my prayers have been answered my way but they have been answered - that's a different topic for a different blog! *wink*) ANYWAY. Back to the real topic of today's Gratitude Attitude. My hub lost his wallet yesterday and searched my car, where it was last seen, three times. With a flashlight, moving seats, checking all the nooks and crannies. Then he went back to work and checked all over there. Then he looked at home. Nada. It was gone. He felt badly. He started making calls to cancel things so nobody could increase our already depleted finances. He was really down about the whole thing and I laid in bed next to him and silently asked God to reveal the location of the stupid wallet for the sake of my hub's sanity and countenance. We woke up this morning and he decided to search my car one last time even though he already had. GUESS WHAT?! He found the lost wallet. GUESS WHERE?! In the Kleenex box in the car! What are the odds? I had to brake that morning and the wallet, unbeknownst to us, slide off the seat where he had laid it and it fell straight into the Kleenex box. Incredible. I asked him what made him look in the Kleenex box and he said he just decided to "on a whim". People. I asked God to reveal the location of the wallet and people HE DID. He is the best lost and found EVER.
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.
