It's the time of year where family, or the absence of it, is perhaps more evident than other times of the year. Families are complicated units of people trying to do life together, bound together by blood or desire. When a family is healthy and mostly functioning well (let's face it, all families are a wee bit dysfunctional) it is a vital part of your life and of theirs. Here's 10 reasons why. (There's some interesting, or perhaps obvious is the better word, typos in the article but I'm trusting you'll be able to read around them.)
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.
