Let’s face it – the world is not a sane place right now.
From the politics to the wars to raging fires and horrible weather events, things are crazy and getting crazier every day, it seems.
We can simply ignore as much of this as possible, of course. Sticking our collective heads in the sand won’t help anything, and might have the opposite effect, but it can at least give us a little peace. That peace is hard to find on social media or at loud family gatherings.
Some retreat to their families. Others enjoy going outdoors and communing with nature. Others play sports or workout to retune their minds and bodies.
These are all great things to do, but I rely on the one thing that has helped me since I was a kid: Music.
I spent hours listening to music when I was young, of course. And my teenage years were so engrossed in music I barely had time for school. And yes, I had the grades to prove it.
