#SneakAwaySunday

How far away are you willing to drive for your #SneakAwaySunday ? My radius extends to no more than an hour away or else I am spending my sneak away on the road instead of rejuvenating. You have to decide what's right for you.

I love wandering a place filled with books - library or bookstore. I love taking my time going through the aisles of some store that I rarely get to go to. Sometimes I sneak away to public places where I can still be by myself. But, for me, they have to be places that I am 99.9% sure nobody I know is going to show up or I'm going to run into. Something about being on a sneak away but surrounded by people I don't need to interact with serves the need to renew from time to time. Plus, I get creative ideas depending on the store I wander through, or I add books to my ever growing to-read list. If I'm in a bookstore or library chances are good I'll find a place to sit and I'll read for awhile. I'll treat myself to something yummy to drink and eat.

When I head home my to-read list is larger - never a bad thing in my opinion - and I feel more creative. I feel ready to head into a new week.

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.
