Coplas

My friend, Eric, without hesitation mentioned this song to me as a favorite!  I love it when someone mentions a favorite anything without any hesitation, that tells you that they truly LOVE that thing! 
This is such a silly song, perfect for a Friday when I'm feeling a little goofy myself! :) It makes not a whit of sense and that's just fine.  The Kingston Trio does a great job of singing it in Spanish and then translating.  Eric, upon sending me this song suggestion, also sent along some old Polaroids he had scanned of he and a buddy dressed up in their Mexican gear - sombrero hats and all!  Fun times! 
In Spanish culture Coplas is traditionally a verse or stanza in a folk song.  Thus today's song is Coplas! 
Have fun on this Friday!

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.
