I was always told in order to break a habit it requires twenty-one days. I've come to learn it's true. I was a smoker since I became twenty. It was one or two a day then I worked my way up to a pack and depending on how many beers I'd have maybe two.
When I first began I was a Winston guy then in college moved onto Camel straights. Maybe I was trying to say, "Hey, look at me. I'm a real man." Then when I married I got myself into the filter kind but I'd suck 'em down to the filter. Thankfully, later on I'd smoke it halfway then stub it out.
Stopping smoking was the most difficult thing I've ever done. It took me twenty-one days of misery but I eventually succeeded.
A couple on months ago I decided, for my own mental health and well-being I needed to pray more. Since I'm restless in bed I figured that'd be the best place to get started. It took twenty-one days for thereabouts for the habit to kick in. Now, when I shut off the lights a little voice kicks in and reminds me to pray.
Sports has always been an important part of my life. Oh, long ago I game up on the NBA and NFL but I'm an avid follower of college football and basketball and major league baseball especially watching the Cubs.
Because of the supposed pandemic I've gotten in the habit, when it comes to all sports, of telling myself, "There are more important things to do".
I'm only guessing about this but the NFL, NBA and MJB are going to see a great loss in viewership which means a loss of money which means they're in trouble at least for the time being.
Last night the KC Chiefs played the Houston Texans in Kansas City. Seventeen thousand were allowed to attend. The Texans stayed in the locker room during the National Anthem. Considering they were hammered 34-10 they should have stayed there the entire game, dressed, then got out of town. The Black National Anthem was played and the crowed booed loudly.
There are postives that come out of bad situations---always. Look to the good is a nice habit to make.
