Even if you believe in a higher power it doesn't make the everything happens for a reason thing easier to take or more true. The people who actually believe that are either lying to themselves or they are delusional. I'm just not buying it. Sometimes shit just happens. I hope you can maintain your streak, though if you can't, it probably won't matter too much to your family and I know that's what really matters the most to you.

Yeah, I get it doesn't make it easier to take, but it is something to hold on to. I used to have it, but it was unsustainable for me.

Yep. They don't care if I miss a day or a year, as long as the bills are paid :)

Just do what you can! Don't get me wrong, I believe in a higher power, but I also believe in free will, and free will can upend even the most divine of plans.

and free will can upend even the most divine of plans.

Imagine God saying "do this" and I would be the one going Nah, I think I might do that instead... :D

You wouldn't be alone! Thank goodness for mercy and grace though (if you believe in that sort of thing). 😀
