When I want to get rid of negative thoughts, I invite them to live in my head for ever and ever and ever.
A couple of minutes go as they noodle around looking for a a light switch ( there is no light in there, hahahah) and place to settle in ( I’ll confess it’s not cold and rocky in there ) and are ready to meet my other thoughts and before I know it,those negative thoughts are gone-poof.Just like that.
It’s weird, am I right?
When I was young, I hated the song Summer Breeze by Seals and Croft.
When it came on the radio I’d switch the channel and turn the volume up- I suppose I was trying to drown out the sound of that lazy, meandering song from my head
I used to think that thin crust pizza was a rotten cheat, it wasn’t a meal it was pizza pan scrapings as far as I was concerned.
and leather gloves were tight, smelly and made the shape of my ugly hands even worse.
But as I have aged, I’ve come to embrace and enjoy the song ” Summer Breeze ” and thin crust pizza and sometimes I wear leather gloves because in my mind’s eye I can see me as a kid looking at me and saying… ” are you weird now or what? “
I am weird, I say to her and proud of it.
I love radio plays, spooky tales are my favorite.
I hope you enjoy this treat.
“Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears – it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. But for many of my neurological patients, music is even more – it can provide access, even when no medication can, to movement, to speech, to life. For them, music is not a luxury, but a necessity.”
