Mixed Emotions

If I had to describe today with emoji's, I'd need a lot of them! Exhaustion - Tuesdays are always difficult. I get very little sleep before having to come into work for the night. I do the best I can to nap when the kids are napping, but things just never seems to line up … Continue reading Mixed Emotions →

Social Media Spring Cleaning

I was forced to do a bit of clean up to one of my social media accounts today. I am not really sure how I missed this one particular person when I went through the "followers" previously, but I did. This follower decided to make themselves known by commenting on a post I made. By … Continue reading Social Media Spring Cleaning →

Happy Thoughts

I once heard someone say, "In a world of darkness - be the light." If I may alter that quote just a bit ... "In a world of negativity - be the positive." You wouldn't know it, but it has been a very challenging couple weeks for me. I just have to keep reminding myself that "some … Continue reading Happy Thoughts →

The Power to Choose

It feels like forever since I sat down to write a blog, yet it has only been a week. This week I am flipping from midnights to days, back to midnights, and then back to days with a day off in between each. Needless to say, I am exhausted and have to remind myself what … Continue reading The Power to Choose →

Get the “funk” out!

I am not going to lie, this past week has been a roller coaster of ups and downs. Whether or not there was more bad than good this week, I really can't say. It "feels like" there was a bit more negatives, though, hence the "funk" I was in this morning. I am hoping that … Continue reading Get the “funk” out! →

Random Thursday Thoughts

There is no real theme to today's blog. Over the past 24 hours, I have jotted down a few thoughts in my notebook and I decided to put them all in one place. Happy 17th Birthday, Dante'! Last year, I wrote a blog for my son's 16th birthday. You can read it here: https://nostalgicitalian.com/2018/04/11/sweet-16-already/ I … Continue reading Random Thursday Thoughts →

Tune Tuesday – Feelin’ Good

One of my followers asked how picked my songs for Tune Tuesday. To be honest, I have no rhyme or reason for the songs that end up here. Last week, I wrote about Marvin Gaye for his birthday, and the week before that it was Nat King Cole for his birthday. Today, it just happens … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Feelin’ Good →

Reflections on “Blog Year One”

One of my Facebook friends noted on his page that this weeks marks the 100th birthday of comedian Red Buttons. Red was known for his "never got a dinner" and "I was there" bits which he did frequently at celebrity roasts. I remembered that last year, on his birthday, I blogged about Red and included … Continue reading Reflections on “Blog Year One” →

Negativity, Judgment, and Happiness

When I worked on the radio full time, I kept a little notebook in my pocket. As I went through my daily life I would jot things that I experienced or noticed in the notebook as possible things to talk about on the air. Lately, I have been collecting quotes to reflect on since there … Continue reading Negativity, Judgment, and Happiness →
