The Boys of Fall

I love Fall.  It's my favorite season.  The smell, the feel in the air, the colors, the tastes, and the sports - specifically High School and Collegiate Levels.  I have some really good memories where Fall is concerned.  I got married in the Fall because I loved it so much! 

I have this mostly love relationship with Kenny Chesney.  Almost every song he's released I have loved but something about him bugs me!! :)  But dang it if he don't sing some good stuff (good redneck impression? :) )!  Once again Kenny Chesney manages to tell a great story through song, he again manages to make me want to pack up and move to a small town and dive in to that small community where things are a little simpler, including football.  Where community means something, where Coaches care even if they are yelling.  I love the idea of Friday night football games and knowing every single person in the stands.  I love the idea of a community sitting around on Saturday morning debating the calls of the game from the night before.  I love the spirit of a smaller town.  Kenny Chesney manages to do this quite often - capture that spirit.  And he does it again in this song.  This song reminds us of the other great American pastime - football.  And nothing says football like fall air and changing colors. 

Happy happy fall!

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.
