Variations on the Canon by Pachelbel

In honor of my seester's birthday today I am featuring one of her top 3 favorite songs of all time!  She also loves Bridge over Troubled Water and One but I loved that she also has an instrumental in her line-up! 

I appreciate artists who keep the integrity of the piece while putting their own interpretation on it.  George Winston has done that with this piece by Pachelbel.  From the first notes you know the song and it is a comfort in its familiarity but you are taken on a bit of a pleasant side trip with Winston's variations. 

My imagination has run "wild" and I can see myself, perhaps my seester has done this, walking down the crowded and busy NYC streets (where she lives) with this playing on her iPod and transporting her through the crowds with hardly a glance their way as the music clears the path. 

Happy birthday Rebecca!

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.
