What Do You Relax To?
Normally, I’m a rock n’ roll gal. Or pop. Peppy country music is a favorite too. But I also love classical music. And when I am especially stressed, I love the sound of rain. I love the music of a quiet piano or guitar mixed with it. I love the sound of the ocean mixed with music as well. In other words I find water and quiet music very soothing.
The ideal situation would be to sit on the porch on a rainy evening listening to music with a glass of wine. When I can’t bring those circumstances about, Nature Quest CD’s make a nice substitute.

The one below is perfect for letting the day wind down.

This article is spectacular. It’s not everyday that we notice such awesome details over a blog article, not to mention on the web.
Classical music always relaxes me and I can read while listening to it.
I’m with Leigh on this one. I prefer quiet when I find the need to make time to relax. It’s great when a good book is available; but if it’s not, then quiet all on its own works for me, usually.
oops, it was the second one that had the geese sound. I like the first one!
Maggie the supposed geese (I guess that is what it was supposed to be) brought me out of the music everytime on the first one, but I really like the second one.
I used to spend hours listening to music filled with rain but we used that when my mother had chemo, so it brought back memories and I just got out of the habit of listening to it.
I tend now to just appreciate quiet. I fix a cup of international coffee, snuggle under my down comforter and pick up a good book.
