#MoneyMonday


I'm bad with money. I understand the value of saving it and all that. I understand the need to steward it well so we can pay our bills and feed our children and all that. I do, I understand. But I'm really bad with it nonetheless. It's a thorn in the side of my marriage. And after 22 years of marriage my hub and I have come to a place where I try - I fail - and I try again. And he does his best to juggle it all. It's not ideal - y'all don't need to tell me that.

So for me to enter into the topic of money is a bit laughable but it's my attempt to try (see above cycle I mention *grin*). Here's what I do believe about money for sure - it's a balancing act. To have money and to hoard it is just as bad as spending it all and having none for necessities. There's a balance to be lived.  Out of balance means you are controlled by money rather than being in control of it yourself.

How do you think about money? (Rhetorical question - you don't have to answer me just be honest with yourself. *wink*)

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.
