Sunday Shout-out: When I Have Time

Since starting Ciao Amalfi two months ago, I have had such a pleasant experience meeting and interacting with the expat blogging community here in Italy. Everyone has been lovely and incredibly helpful in so many ways! I have left comments and sent emails full of questions, with topics ranging from tech problems to privacy issues, and I have always received cheerful responses and great advice. I want to say grazie mille to everyone for making me feel so welcome! It has inspired me to start a weekly feature called “Sunday Shout-out” where I can share with you some of the great blogs and websites I have been discovering. On the topic of help and advice, the first Sunday Shout-out goes to the fabulous Sara Rosso of the blog Ms. Adventures in Italy. Check out her new project called When I Have Time, where she offers “Tips, Info and How-To’s to Bridge the Gap between Meek and Geek.”

I have been reading there this week about copyright and Creative Commons and buying a domain, and her “Ask the Geek” section is great. Sara has a real talent for explaining potentially complicated or murky topics in a clear and concise manner. As a new blogger, this type of information is invaluable. A big shout-out to Sara for starting this great new website! Head on over with your technical questions you haven’t known who to ask before!

A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as A spectacular view of a truly spectacular place as I flew out of Naples yesterday morning. A little bit delayed due to Winter Storm Olive in the midwest, but I was greeted in central Nebraska by blue skies and flocks of Sandhill cranes and snow geese. “Oh, to love what is lovely” as Mary Oliver wrote about that joyful experience of seeing snow geese golden in a sunny sky. ✨

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
