Standing Outside the Fire

Oh I love me some Garth Brooks! I started listening to Garth about my Senior year of High School. Lyrically he's got some great songs and musically, well, I'll confess now...I love a good dose of country music!

I have this memory of the summer after my High School graduation at work and the area where I worked we had the country music station on and every so often - probably when Boot Scootin' Boogie would come on - one of my co-workers would get up and do this dance that was hysterical. White boy trying to bring forth any kind of rhythm from his bones! AHAHAHAHA!

I love many of Garth's songs - it's hard to pick just one so expect to see him show up again in the next year! This song I love because of the challenge to live life fully and without fear of risks. Living life in a bubble isn't really a life lived. And when I saw the actual video for this song I was moved - I can think of a lot of inspiring people and those kids and adults who go above and beyond what this world says they can or should do inspire me to hop into the fire myself and begin to really live life!

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.
