Caught red-handed

Being caught red-handed was a way to catch poachers back in the day, the red referring to the blood still on their hands from killing animals. (source) There seems to be some other ideas to the origin but this one seems to be the most plausible.

Today the phrase means being caught in the very act, for example the below picture of me when I was a wee one. 😏

When I was a wee one I got into my Grandma's powder puff and used it liberally on myself and covered the bathroom with the stuff. I was caught red-handed and a picture was taken because I was just too cute to scold! :)

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.
