Country Music is like oatmeal, even when you don't want it, it is good for your heart.
I love Country Music; it is without question, my favorite genre of music. That's not to say that there is not bad country music, stereotypical country music or years that country music fans would like to forget, I just enjoy it. For the record I also enjoy: the Beatles, classic rock, 90's & 00's alt rock, bubblegum pop, one hit wonders and that weird sunscreen song (click here). Heck, even download John Mayer from Napster, in 2000, when he was trying to get famous by sounding like and at the same time mocking DMB, but I feel most comfortable with Country Music.
On Monday, I was listing to country music, while driving, which is rare because typically I listen to audio books. While I was listening to it, it made me smile, just a normal happy smile. I liked that smile because there was nothing behind it, nothing specific driving it, just a good mood.
I was worried about Monday. Worried that I would want to eat, worried that I would eat, worried that it would be a stressful day, worried that I would resent Day-41. The day was the opposite: work went fine, kids were everything they should be, lifted weights with a neighbor, drank beer with a friend and had some good chicken soup broth. It was such a easy going day that Country Music made me smile, for no particular reason. In truth, I could have used more Day-41's during Lent.
Overtime isn't bad. I'm still searching for answers and working on a better me. I've narrowed my search and feeling good about what I'm doing. While complete clarity isn't likely to occur in the next 72-hours I do feel something significant coming.
Random Notes: Started the day at 189 lbs and lost the calorie count after 2 bowls of soup broth and 60 oz of Budweiser.
