Dixieland Delight

Man does this song make me happy! When I was younger my Dad would sometimes play an Alabama cassette (man am I old! HA!) while we were driving. Most often at night we would be traveling back home, and in the summer the windows would be rolled down and the mountain breeze would be blowing through the car, and this song would come on and our family would come alive! About 3:15 into the song it goes into this instrumental hoedown and each of us would pick an instrument to air play and we would go nuts! I mean we must have looked like a bunch of crazies air playing our instruments and singing at the top of our lungs. Every time I hear this song I start giggling uncontrollably and I can close my eyes and see my brothers and I, squished together in the back seat, going nuts on our instruments and singing ourselves hoarse. What I wouldn't give for a repeat of that!

I hope you have fun listening in!

    Love it. I downloaded all those Alabama songs a few years ago and every once and a while I put them on. I get very tempted to bust out the air-fiddle action!

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.
