When as the last time you listened to an entire CD? Beginning to end? Start to finish? No shuffle, no playlists, no “genius”, but straight up, an entire album.
For me, it’s been far too long, and in desperate search of a respite for my musical ADD, I am sitting at home right now, listening to a magical invention called the Compact Disc, rather than simply my iTunes playlists.
It certainly presents a nice respite from the craziness that is work, simultaneously testing my students at the end of chapter 2, organizing meta-intervention (answering the question of what happens when kids who can’t multiply still don’t learn how to multiply), and putting the reigns on a Magnet-school faire that is going to occur at our school on November 21st.
Honestly, I love all this stuff, but sometimes it is simply grand to just lay out on my couch and listen to some music…not necessarily to be doing things with music in the background, but just listening to music.
Amazing!

Yes Mr. H, one of the greatest most simple pleasures in life is “just” listening to music. Being there, not trying to accomplish anything else at the same time. It’s amazing what a few moments of being still and not multi-tasking while listening to music can do to your wellbeing. It sure beats paying 120 bucks an hour in therapy!
