Don't Worry, Be Happy

Sometimes things just seem very balanced and calm and well, it doesn't usually last really long, lol, but right now it's good. I'm happy with the work I'm doing. I'm glad it snowed so things went from gray to white. My marriage seems to be in a good place--and heading in a good direction. My younger son is Mr. Mellow--there's not much conflict with him, if ever. Older son is pretty wrapped up in his sweetie and her serious health issues so he hasn't the energy to tangle with me. I really enjoy the Madrigals group that I joined. It was just joyful being a part of it tonight. The director knows his stuff and I just want to soak it all in--and the people are friendly. Music used to be a huge part of my life (radio actually used to be good--and there was plenty of clubbing and concerts). Now I'm lazy about seeking out new stuff and I end up putting NPR on the car stereo. I won't pay $150 to see a name brand band and I can't do the smoke-filled club scene any more.
But I've been dutifully doing beginner's keyboarding and now with the singing I feel reconnected to music. It's not what I grew up with but it still strokes the same auditory feel-good areas.

And yeah, I need to keep working on not taking myself so seriously. Stop stressing and fretting over things that I have little or no control over. Just concentrate on being a decent human being and it pretty much falls into place.

Have a good one!

My favorite college station is Northeastern U's WZRD-88.3 FM. I used to spin vinyl at my alma mater, Elmhurst College, on WRSE-88.7.

Hi Alvin!

Thank you for the generous compliments. :)
I just tried to visit you, but my computer got hung up. I'll have to re-boot and try again after dinner.

Cheers!

I have only two stations preset on my car radio: NPR and the local college radio station, the last bastions of Real Radio.
