I was reading the other day and came across a wonderful phrase. I’m going to write it here with the hopes that – although I don’t speak, write or read Italian – I get it right.
“Che cosa fai di bello oggi?”
According to the magazine article (‘Being Italian’ by Frances Mayes, published in the Winter 2011 Mariner magazine), here’s the translation:
“What beautiful thing are you doing today?”
So….
What beautiful thing are you doing today?
Blessings! Sue
A couple of years ago, I decided to jump-start my writing career. First, I gave my writing career to the Lord. (Again!) Then I had a serious heart-to-heart with my husband. Neil has always believed in my dreams. He told me to go for it, that whatever happened we’d be a team as we’ve always been….

Receiving a fun package from “The Joyful Rose Shop” that included a Christmas chalk board and these cards: Please excuse my poor photography on this wonderful card….
I was having a great, motivated, write-every-day week. My husband was away on a fishing trip, and I had six hours of daylight between care-giving times for my dad-in-law. I was really going to speed into my second draft! But sometimes life happens. My dad wound up in the hospital and my mother has dementia. Suddenly…
I’ve never been a good shopper, probably because I’ve lived most of my life in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. When I was a kid, shopping choices included our local mom-and-pop stores (which were wonderful), catalogs, and homemade.
