Tell me all about it, dear...

The same thing happened to me with music. Adam doesn't particularly like it, either. Once I stopped commuting daily, I stopped listening to the radio in the car. I'd forgotten how much it feeds my soul. Listening to the right song at the right time is like unloading my misery to a good friend who has a compassionate and nonjudgmental ear. And hey, as far as feeling like a hideous blob despite what the partner, friends and family say, I have totally been there.

docking speaker for the phone.... I love mine and it is my best friend in the creamery. I adore having music back in my world on a daily basis. Any phone can use my android specific speakers since the connection is via bluetooth

I can SO relate. Compliments about my appearance make me cringe because I don't feel the least bit deserving of them. And MOST days the thought of showering and dressing and doing my hair and make-up is exhausting. More and more frequently, I don't bother. The same is becoming true with music. The voices inside my head are so loud these days, I find myself craving peace and quiet. But I need to remember that music has saved my sanity time and time again throughout my life. Thanks for the reminder.

P.S. Oddly enough, I was just thinking about Kiki Dee the other day. Haven't thought of her in many years.

What gbw said! I hate the ads and hate the djs and won't put on a radio for love nor money. But the ex bought me a little ipod back in the day and I have filled it with songs that make me happy (with a couple of bought the album got the loser tracks too exceptions). Ipod dock and playlists are lovely but even after I lost most of my playlists in the last computer crash I've discovered that shuffle has it's own special appeal.

Here's hoping your doldrums have fled in the face of music and spring. I get it - I've lived it - and you deserve better. Being older than twenty doesn't mean you aren't stylish and beautiful, it merely means you're more polished and have the smarts to know how to pull it all off. Remember how insecure you were in your teens and twenties? Because it's the same thing now. You're lovely, you just have to remind yourself of the fact.

And a happy good Sunday to you my dear ! Something must be in the air this past week La because you are not alone in feeling the blahs. I looked at myself in a full length mirror on Monday and almost starting crying because I too have gained waaay too much fluffiness on my body. Bleh. My doctor phoned in a prescription for Phentermine to kick start my metabolism so I can begin the process of shedding this excess weight. YAY! Cleaning all of the excess crap outta my man cave and unloading things that I don't use has made me smile a bit so things are looking up. Giving all of my unnecessary stuff to Goodwill makes me feel like I am doing my part to help those folks that can use my discarded stuff too so there is a positive right there. I'm also sending you some positive energy to help you out a tad bit - I do hope it helps. Be well and hopefully tomorrow will kick off a stellar week for you. - John in Tucson

It must be the end-of-winter & where-the-heck-is-Spring Blues. I haven't been listening to music either and when I do, I turn it off when Husband comes home because he doesn't like the same music as I do.....(he has no taste!) We are back in Indiana and I already have a sinus headache!
