I’ve stopped whining and now am listening to satellite music from the ‘70s and doing more unpacking in my new apartment.
And the weirdest thing just happened.
A disco song came on - forget which one, but it was one of the popular ones - and I’m taking a break, sipping ice water, and looking about. And I remembered how much I used to LOVE disco. I’d go to the disco alone, with girlfriends, or with a date, but I’d go. And dance dance dance.
I closed my eyes and remembered the strobe lights and the repetitive “hooks” of the disco music, and the crowds, the drama, the feeling of being wonderfully lost in music, color, darkness, and lights.
Then I opened my eyes and looked around my apartment, and an Eagles song came on, and I looked at pictures of family members I have framed, and thought about my 45th high school reunion that’s coming up in October, and ... I just smiled.
Throughout it all, I’ve got to say, I’ve had a really good time. In my life. In living. Much more good than bad. Lots of friends, lots of family, situations, careers, nights and days, the beach in Maine, the smell of saltwater, staying up late at night writing poems, hanging out at Macy’s in high school with my girlfriends and ending up at the movies.
How very strange. If I had to summarize my life right now, I’d say ... I’m having a ball. I’m collecting moments, memories, and loves. It’s okay.
I’m okay.
For a continually depressed, post-traumatic stressed, person, this is quite the revelation.
I’m okay.
So glad you discovered that there is a lot of positive things in your life. Sometimes if we just stop and look back in our past, most of us can say there is a lot of good, a lot of blessings to be grateful for, and a lot of lessons learned along the way.
I love to listen to internet radio from the 70’s...Sky FM is my favorite station. They play the best songs from the 70’s.
Keep thinking positive!
You will be ok Suzann.....It is so good that you were able to look back at the good old days and have such a wonderfull feeling. You are certainly blessed
Reminiscing can actually lift you up, huh! I find myself doing it often, and then I remember why I love my life and all of the bad stuff disappears! 
Thank you, my Fab sisters! (Sky Fm!!! That’s what I was listening to!)
Suzann...isn’t that channel awesome! I could listen to it all the time....
Great ... sometimes we just need something like music to make us see what’s going on ....
Vicki, you‘re so right. And what a good point - now that you mention it, music can really touch our hearts and memories in ways that nothing else can (except perhaps scent - pine trees, salt, perfume).
MC, it’s my main station. It’s got just everything - from jazz to oldies to classical - and it’s free! And as you said, they choose great songs.
I also like Pandora, but SkyFm is less work!
I agree...love that Sky Fm...think I will listen to it tonight.....
Create lasting relationships
with other like minded women.
I’m glad your ok my Friend.
