Live Like We're Dying

Kris Allen, an American Idol winner, finishes out this week's theme.  Truthfully I'm not all that fond of Kris Allen and his music but the song fits and I don't always switch the station when it comes on so it gets a spot on the experiment.  Kris Allen, like almost all other winners, hasn't done much since winning.  This song hit the charts and did decent but we haven't heard from him since then. 
The message of the song runs a similar theme to the others from this past week.  But as with the others this one asks a few different questions and poses a few different thoughts.  Put all the songs together and you've got quite a thought provoking life challenge in front of you!  But this song addresses the 86,400 seconds we each have on a daily basis to make sure that people know they are loved.  When people are dying they make sure they communicate with the people they love and this song says that each day we should live like we are dying, each day let us take advantage of every second to make sure that people know they are loved and valued. 
So what will you do with the moments life hands you today?

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.
