Life is a Highway

The first time I remember hearing this song was in High School. My brother, Paul, was in a production at his High School (yep, we went to separate schools) and the finale of the production was this song and my brother playing the harmonica during part of it. It brings back such good and fun memories and every time I hear this song I smile and first think of my brother on stage playing that harmonica (that he didn't know how to play and just picked it up one day and learned!).

I'm a big lyrics person (must be the writer in me) and even the lyrics of this song have captured my attention for years. If we are on the highway of life then we have to travel with the road, not against it. And it's always easier to travel those roads with a friend by your side.

This song just makes me happy! And I've included the version that has one of my fave bands, Rascal Flatts, singing it for the movie "Cars". How could you not be happy singing along to that?!? (Btw, has anyone else noticed the major similarities between the movies "Cars" and "Doc Hollywood"? Huge similarities, I'm just sayin'!)

    I feel like we will have A LOT of similar songs during this 365 experiment! I like the new version, but I must say I am partial to the original Tom Cochrane. Gotta love a one hit wonder that gets re-made!

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.
