Rediscovering

What to do when you’ve done it all. More than once.

By now some of us have baked far too much, cooked more than we thought we were capable of, cleaned until we can’t clean any more and have become bored by what we normally look forward to watching.

There is something special about rediscovering things you used to do, but for reasons no one remembers, you stopped doing.

Me? I pulled out my CD collection, turned on the DVD player and started rediscovering my music collection.

Streaming is a great option, but as many have discovered not everything is available to download or tuck into a playlist. My CD and DVD collections fill the gap left when what is available just isn’t interesting at the moment.

I have to admit, I do forget that my ancient DVD player has the capability to do more than play video. It is a nice surprise because not only does it allow me to play my music, it plays it through my TV which has pretty amazing speakers. Win/Win!

So far, I’ve pulled relaxing works to listen to. I may move into some soundtracks or rock and roll or <shrug> who knows?

What I do know is that there is something to occupy that space in my head that isn’t overwhelmed by all the outside noise. Not that the Outside Noise isn’t sometimes necessary, it is just a bit too much.

So, if you are feeling a bit lost and in need of Something Different, why not dig into your stash and see what treasures you can find to replace the Outside Noise and restore some joy?
