My Favourite.....Music Growing Up



My Favorite.. is a weekly meme hosted by Maureen’s Books. In this meme we share every week something we love with each other. Because let’s face it.. The world can be a dark place and it’s time to share something positive. For more info: My Favorite Meme.

 Music is a great passion of mine, I love to listen to it and I enjoy many varied forms.  When I was younger I did not have a lot of exposure to it though, only what my parents listen to as we did not have all these fancy devices that my kids have today.

 I remember having a variety show of sorts in Grade One and we did a cover of this song which was my favourite at the time.  

What was your favourite music growing up?

    I love classic rock. It is by far my favorite music genre. I was introduced to it at a very young age as I shared a room with my older sister. Today is her birthday. She would have been 63, but I lost her to cancer 21 years ago. Her taste in music still influences me to this day.

    I love all sorts of music. I grew up listening to Status Quo so that has a special place in my heart, but then in my teens it was all about Steps, hehe.

    The Beach Boys always equal summer to me.

    Awesome! I mostly listened to the Pop songs on TV and radio in 90's. I had a few CDs but was always out of batteries for my disk-man. I remember back then boy bands were pretty big deal.
    Enjoyed reading your post, bought back nostalgia of growing up :)
    Best Wishes!

    One of my strongest memories of elementary school was our talent show in sixth grade. The guy I had a crush on and three of his friends sang "Elvira." My crush turned out to be gay--I guess my gay-dar wasn't so strong at 12!

January 1, 2019 Q and A

So I got myself a bunch of fancy journals once and they have been collecting dust on my bookshelf.  Cleaning my bookshelves is another one of my big goals this year.  I have decided to use my fancy prompt journals for blogging.  This one is my favourite, it is one of those ones where you have a question a day and you ask yourself the same one every year and see how the answers have changed.

1) What is your mission?

My mission for this coming year is to be true to myself and do what more of what make me happy and less of what I feel I have to (in my own head, due to imaginary social pressure not real things).

I rather like the things I like and want to just go with that flow.

Happiness can be faked.

What?  I know that was what I said at first.  However it really does work.

One of my favourite take aways from Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project is that a part of being happy is acting happy.  Playing the part of what you want to be is advice that people give you all the time in so many areas of life.  Why?  Because it works.  Dress for the job you want, act professional etc.

Acting happier works as well, when you start acting happier you are training your mind to be happier with what you have right in the moment and and it becomes a habit.

Eat to fuel your body.

Sluggish, tired from eating junk because I was always so busy me was not a fun person to be around at all.  She pretty much just worked and slept and occasionally snapped at people because they tired to make her do other things.

A part of the course I am taking is fitness and nutrition and a part of learning about that is learning how food fuels your body.  IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.  You have to stick with it though to get through the bad parts.  The first few weeks of cutting out processed foods and cutting back on sugar were a nightmare, I felt like I was dying. DYING!!!!

I feel great now though and it takes some planning to work out days when I am busy or we are going out but so worth it.
