I am not going to pretend I understand the idea and fasicantion with February 14th.  People idoilze a day that someone deemed an important day to shower your “loved” ones with expensive gifts. Those gifts somehow symolize the love you have for each other? 

This is my response to a post one of my sisters made. For context her post was in regards to learning a family member passed away. Followed by a coworkers passing a few hours later. 

If you have a hard time making time to take care of yourself, I have a few suggestions for you to upgrade your self care routine this year. I prioritize others’ needs over my own. I mistakenly believed generosity would guarantee affection. Sadly, I have learned the hard way, multiple times, that is not true. 

Do you sometimes feel that the more effort you put in, the farther you are from your desired destination? Does this sound like you? I am tired. I will start tomorrow. I will be happy when I lose 20 pounds. Life will be easier when no longer struggle to pay our bills. I hate my job, I will be less stressed when I land my new job. Once I finish this project, I can be present. I need this degree or certification before I can.

Happy quitter’s day!The second Friday in January is known as National Quitter Day in regards to New Year Resolutions. Why did society choose January 1st to mark the new year, and why is it considered ideal for personal change? Winter “New Year”: Whose idea was that?
