Father's Day
The History of Father's Day
Anyone can make the donation to create a child and receive the term "father" but not everyone can be a Daddy, the guy that is there day in and day out making sure that love is known and felt, teaching life skills, being the tickle monster when laughter is needed and being a haven of comfort when tears flow.  Daddy, the guy that knows the child's needs - both emotional and physical. Daddy, the guy that will sit with their kid and watch cartoons with them.  Daddy, the guy that will discipline in love because he knows the potential of his child and he doesn't want it lost to entitlement or rebellion. See, anyone can make that DNA donation but not just anyone can be a Daddy.  So to those of you who are Daddy's to children that don't have your DNA - keep on keeping on, you are making a difference.  To those of you who are Daddy's to the children who have your DNA - keep on keeping on, you are making a difference. Happy Father's Day to all the Daddy's.

Daylight Appreciation Day
I love the long days of summer.  I love driving home from work and it's light out.  I love the first of the day when the sun is rising and the end of the day when the sun is setting.  I love the daylight but I don't love the bright, direct sunlight. What about you?

Make Music Day
Maybe you don't know how to make music but you can certainly appreciate it! Take some time today to appreciate music - maybe a genre you don't normally listen to. *wink*

Finally Summer Day
What is Summer Solstice?
Throw a party!

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.
