Chill Lounge

Monday has always been a day for upbeat music around here. It kind of sets the tempo for the week, but current events have a lot of people on edge right now so I’m thinking that this Monday, I would slow everything down and focus on the calming effect of mellow music.

Tomorrow the music will be a different story because it’s Halloween, but today, it’s all about taking a breath and letting the music soothe your fevered brow.

Oh, and Mary Helen, there’s even a backstory for you at the end!

    Good Day Ray 🙂 This was a mellow Monday medley that had me humming & singing a few lines too. Ted & I enjoyed it. Don’t think we’ll be doing any outside work today so it’s a good thing we will be working inside. Should get the last kitchen wall up today, probably some painting and old tile removal on the floor too. Time will tell. Looking forward to tomorrow’s Halloween medley. Thanks for the tunes today 🙂 Lee & Ted

      Thanks, Lee & Ted 🥰🥰
      I thought the music was appropriate, considering the rainy weather in the Northeast. I’m glad you hummed and sang along. Good luck with the work today!

      There are days we all need to calm our anxious minds. I’m very glad this music was one of those days for you.

      Thank you, Mary Helen. I have always believed I had a rock and roll heart, but as I get older, I’m beginning to enjoy the mellow music a lot more than I ever thought I would. 🥰
