Crazy Days!

Today was a crazy, hectic, tense, unbelievably stressful day. It was a doozy!

Ah, the TV production life... not always so glamorous, people! LOL. Our deadlines are crazy, just ask all the harried people in my office.

And then, finally, by the very end of the day, all was better.  Oh, the roller-coaster life that I lead. Be still, my heart.  No seriously, be still! LOL.

I guess as long as I can get off that roller-coaster, feel better, and the nutty ride was at least worth it, I'm okay.

I felt that way today, after all was said and done.  And that longggg awaited exhale was my joy moment for today.

Stay tuned :-)

All That Jazz!

Previously, I've mentioned that I like jazz music. Today I happened upon, KJazz. 88.1, a non-commercial public radio station from Cal State Long beach campus. It's sooo good!  I've come across the station briefly in the past but today I locked it into my favorites and had a long enjoyable listen on my ride home.

I wish I could say I was a jazz aficionado and could name drop all the great artists or give you a breakdown on the harmony and composition of the music.  Alas, no. I just love the way the music makes me feel.

I enjoy the beauty of the music and the emotions it evokes. Some songs have me toe tapping, others take my mind to far away places. It's amazingly relaxing.

Another great element about the KJazz station is they make sure to tell you who the artist is for each song. So glad they do. I wrote down a couple of songs I'd like to purchase in the future.  Who knows, I just might become an aficionado yet!  :-)

My long and fabulous, jazzy interlude was my joy moment today.

I was lovin' all that jazz! (Insert jazz hands here, LOL!)

Stay tuned :-)

Well Wishes

When you're not feeling up to par, it's nice to hear from people with thoughtful well wishes.

I received calls and emails today from fam and friends wishing me a speedy recovery from my flu bug. It was nice to know that I was thought about and that they took the time to reach out.

It made me feel like a lucky girl and it was my joy moment for today.

Thanks, Friends!

Stay tuned :-)

Comfort Food

Still a bit under the weather, seems I have been bitten by the darn flu bug. Tough little bugger.

Have the normal symptoms, fever, aches, and pains. Overall crappy feeling. Lots of rest and fluids filled my day's agenda.

Days like this, comfort food is mandatory. A delicious breakfast sandwich helped do the trick. It made me feel a little better and helped lull me into a much needed nap. They don't call it comfort food for nothing. :-)

That wonderful bit of comfort, when I was feeling pretty uncomfortable, was my joy moment for today.

Stay tuned:-)

Warding off the Bug

Under the weather today... for most of the day.  I think I may be coming down with a cold. Boo. Hiss.

Trying my best to bob and weave and avoid it.  Because being sick is not fun.  So I loaded up on the meds and fluids and hit the bed... on a sunny afternoon.  It was 80 degrees today in Cali!  Felt like I was being tortured in more ways than one, LOL.

But it seems like my efforts might be working.  I'm not feeling as bad as I was this morning. We'll see.

That small glimmer of hope that I may be winning my cold war is my little joy moment for today. :-) Crossing my fingers!  LOL

Take care, friends!

Stay tuned :-)

Friendly Celebration

Dinner. Friends. Good food. Laughs. Gal pal's birthday celebration. Followed by sweets.

It was a nice way to spend a Friday night... and it was my joy moment for today.

Hope you had a happy one, friends.

Stay tuned :-)

Speak Up!

Sometimes silence isn't golden.

I have found that sometimes things just need to be said. Sometimes you must speak up for yourself or even for someone else.  Speaking out is not always easy but there are occasions when it's necessary and has to be done.

Certain times, being silent may allow things to fester, to go too far or lead to undesirable consequences. Sometimes a voice is needed.

This all came to mind today after I realized that a matter I initially thought I should let pass needed addressing.  A conversation was required so that all involved could be on the same page and things could progress smoothly. Staying silent wouldn't do anyone, any good.

My joy moment today was coming to that realization and making plans to have a friendly chat fest.

Go team!

Stay tuned :-)
