Stress is the killer. I think that's where music is so helpful.

I'm listening to WDAV (Davidson College) over the internet right now, and their "Mozart Cafe" program.

Mozart wrote such beautiful music, tuned to our emotions, and sometimes with the greatest simplicity.

His birthday is January 27. I'll be celebrating!! 🎂

Creating a routine for the odds and ends is important, but I do so many varied things. Like, I'll go for a hike around the ridge (waitign for the sun to break through!) and each time, it's different. Phone, yes, in case of a fall, this camera or that one, and so on.

I am working on mindfulness. The memory is OK. It's just that I sometimes drop off the keys or phone without thinking. OOPS.
