#ThriftyThursday

Today's #ThriftyThursday topic is about being thrifty when it doesn't seem like you need to be. If you don't feel like you have to carefully watch your pennies then congratulations (yes, I am being sarcastic when I say that. *wink*). But most people in my circles have to be mindful. And those that don't *need* to be still are so that they can retire the way they want to.

I saw today's quote (below) and found it so interesting because of who said it. If Rockefeller believes in thriftiness then probably we can all stand to consider it as well! And then I found this article about being thrifty even if you don't need to. The thing is - we can't know what tomorrow brings so practicing thriftiness is wisdom for our future not just for today.

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.
