Jesus Is The Reason
I’ve learned over the years that people collect all kinds of things beside the usual coins or stamps. My wife, Priscilla, collects nativity sets which I never really realized until this year. I knew she had a couple but this year she decided to post a different nativity picture on Facebook every day. I actually…

Charlie’s First Christmas
Yes it’s Charlie’s first Christmas and so far so good. In case you don’t know, Charlie is our puppy that we got in May. He is a Schnoodle, which is a mix between a Schnauzer and a poodle. (I still love saying Schnoodle. It’s such a fun word.) Charlie is now 9-months old. I had…

It’s That Time Of Year Again!
It’s that time of year again! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said that line over my 40 years in radio. “It’s that time of year again to: Buy a new car!” (Yeah right!”) Buy jewelry!” Buy beer and wine!” Buy more beer and wine!” I could use that line in a number…

You Gotta Love ”New Socks Day!”
The other day was one of my favorite days of the year. No it wasn’t my birthday, that’s in the summer. It was also obviously not Opening Day for baseball. The other day was new socks day! There’s nothing better than putting on some new socks! Just sliding your foot into those brand new, never…

I’m Actually Feeling Quite Alive
I received a very interesting Facebook Message this week. One of the viewers/listeners to the Pete Braley Show told me that she was at Dollar Tree the other day and while she was talking with the cashier about something we do on the show, she mentioned my name. Let’s pick it up there, heres what…

God’s Country – Where Is Yours?
I have walked by this view hundreds, if not thousands, of times since we moved here in the 80’s. Once again, the beauty of this spot made me stop, appreciate it and then take a picture to share. This is at the bottom of Bonney Street in Fairhaven where you turn onto Cove. That’s always…

Being Positive, Not Always Easy
Hello friend, your little ray of sunshine here! Just a joke. It’s me. Pete. I try to be positive. I try to make people happy or have a laugh. There was even a subtitle on my book, “I’m Not Done Yet: Turning disabilities into possibilities.” Full disclosure… I just wasn’t feeling it the past couple…

Things That Make Us Happy
I saw a meme this week that I liked. No it wasn’t a post that makes you rethink your life or help you find a new direction. However, it was a meme I could totally agree with. Yup! I pretty much agree with everyone of them. Writing with a nice pen. I thought I was…

It’s OK To Say ”No”
One of the jobs I have everyday with the “Pete Braley Show” is to come up with “stuff.” It’s a part of my job I have always enjoyed even when I was doing the radio show. Someone once asked my wife, Priscilla, “How does he come up with all this material?” Answer: I was blessed…

“9-1-1 What’s Your Emergency?”
I watched an interesting episode of “Chicago Fire” last night. I’m not sure if it was last week’s episode or the week before. I think I had three weeks of shows on my DVR. It wasn’t the part where Joe Cruz struggled on a rescue because he’s suffering PTSD or where Casey told the son…
