Now . . . put on one of those guided relaxation CDs and I am ready to strangle someone within minutes! The voice over music on those CDs is terribly distracting, and ruins my ability to relax.
Glad you found your music again.  |
Thank you so much. I am not lying; I actually thought something was wrong with my pea brain last night. It actually got a little spooky after I thought about it this morning. I have heard of people that have actually hypnotized themselves and then not be able to come out of it. Whether this is possible or not, I don't know. Thanks again.
I just told my wife about my little secret. She says she has known this for years. She has a little IPod Shuffle she won from Avon and she has classical music, sounds of nature like a rain storm and several others on there. She asked me how I thought she had kept her sanity through all the struggles we are facing. I then opened my big mouth and told her that I really appreciated her keeping this a secret from me, now she is highly PO”d at me. Oh well, par for the course I suppose.
