Can you work with music playing?
On Saturday mornings I generally write my blogs. I always have music on during that time. Some Saturday mornings, when I am finished with the blog writing, I will catch up on some work.
At the end of each year I traditionally rank my top ten concerts. This year I took a different approach. I shared a chronological listing as I found it difficult to rank them.
As I related in my commentary,
It’s that time of year again—time to make my predictions for the upcoming events! Or, in other words, take a few shots in the dark. :)
Last year, I made a record-breaking six predictions and went 4-for-6. Since 2007, my total record stands at 29 out of 57—putting me at a .508 batting average.
Here are my three predictions for 2024:
Last week I wrote about my most poignant Christmas memory, it involved my mother giving and then taking away a prized toy top on Christmas Day when I was a little boy.
Tomorrow evening, we light the third candle for Hanukkah. The third night of Hanukkah will forever have a special significance for me.
As we approach the holidays, whichever you may celebrate, the one common denominator is family...always has been, hopefully always will be.
So, spend time away from your career - body AND mind - smell the Folger's coffee brewing (still one of my favorite holiday commercials) - watch the snow fall while you sit by a cozy fire drinking hot chocolate with your grandkids - sing the Christmas carols (largely written by the Jewish community) - smile at the antics of your one crazy relative (that we all have) - eat, drink and be merry!!!!
I love to read. For as long as I can remember, reading has always been my greatest escape, a doorway to worlds unknown and stories untold. I can easily read one book a week, most often before I go to sleep. Although, during football season I can read all day while my husband watches football.
