Welcome to the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot, where we offer a place for bloggers to link up and get a fresh set of eyes on their posts. We also feature one blog a week, letting our readers know about the blog and providing a link so readers can learn more about it. Please feel free to post new blog posts or old ones you want to bring attention to again.

Look for the post to go live about 9:30 PM EST on Thursdays.

I share old movie clips on Facebook and Instagram, and while the majority of the comments on them are positive and uplifting, sometimes mean and out of line ones slip through. It’s weird how we humans tend to focus on the negative, because I find myself getting down about those negative comments, even though most comments are positive. My latest strategy is simply to delete them and move on.

I really do enjoy the nicer comments where someone shares how they loved watching a movie with a loved one who has passed on or who just shares a happy memory in general.

Alas, not all people are pleasant so I just have to take the good with the bad. The best thing about the negative comments is that I am learning to let things go more and let the miserable people be miserable. It’s teaching me to protect my peace and take longer breaks or just delete the comments altogether if they are too horrible.

Now, let’s introduce our current hosts for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot:

Marsha from Marsha in the Middle started blogging in 2021 as an exercise in increasing her neuroplasticity.  Oh, who are we kidding?  Marsha started blogging because she loves clothes, and she loves to talk or, in this case, write!  

Melynda from Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household  – The name says it all, we homestead in East Texas, with three generations sharing this land. I cook and bake from scratch, between gardening and running after the chickens, and knitting! 

Lisa from Boondock Ramblings shares about the fiction she writes and reads, her faith, homeschooling, photography and more. 

Cat from Cat’s Wire is a bookworm, movie fan, crazy cat lady, armed with beads, cabs, wire and a very jumpy brain which loves to go down rabbit holes!

Rena from Fine, Whatever writes about style, midlife, and the “fine whatever” moments that make life both meaningful and fun. Since 2015, she’s been celebrating creativity, confidence, and finding joy in the everyday.

We would love to have additional Co-Hosts to share in the creativity and fun! If you think this would be a good fit for you and you like having fun (come on, who doesn’t!) while still being creative, drop one of us an email and someone will get back with you!

WTJR will be highlighting a different blogger each week this year! We invite you to stop by their blog, take a look around and say hello!

This week we are spotlighting: Linda from Bushel and a Pickle

A little about Linda:

I live in Central Pennsylvania in a very, very old farmhouse. Bushel & a Pickle is my blog. Sharing my life experiences that include home, food, travel, family and faith is a delight for me.

Thank you so much for joining us for our link-up!

And now some posts that were highlights for me this past week:
