Music Monday

-




This week's musical theme is:

‘Motivation Monday’ – songs that motivate you to clean house, run errands, work out, or what have ya. 

So...what motivates me?


Well, the first song that came to mind....it was the 80's, and I signed up for an aerobics class.  We did a routine to this song, and it always got me moving.




How about one to keep you motivated while doing chores?



Yes, I still have Disney on my mind.


This next one motivates me to take time to enjoy life, to be an active participant in life, to appreciate nature and music and art....


And the last one motivates me to try and be a better person.

    I remember the 80s and aerobic class after work. Mewsic like 'Eye of the Tiger' was just one of many furtastic tunes to get motivate your body to get movin'. 'Whistle While You Work' is just so darn cute and catchy. I'm not going to hit play on that vid or it'll be stuck in my head all day. 'I Hope You Dance' is beautiful & inspiring. Thanks for sharing the dance floor with the 4M gang, my friend. Have a boogietastic week! ;)

    "Whistle While You Work" - it's been years (I absolutely hate housework and it would take more than singing bluebirds and squirrels to get me in the mood" but it seems so cute and innocent, not seeing it in years. I love "Eye of the Tiger" and wish I had made it up the Rocky steps when I visited Philadelphia (almost 20 years ago now - yikes). "I Hope You Dance" speaks to me right now. None of us should settle for the path of least resistance. Hoping you have a good week. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
