Well, it’s been an interesting month. Six weeks. Eternity.
Hope you’re all doing okay. That you’re healthy, first of all, but that you’re also mentally okay.
I have good days and bad days. I’m a bit of a worrier, so my imagination gets the best of me some days. But I’m hanging in there.
Definitely getting by with a little help from my friends. One bunch, in particular. My core Rock Boat group.
Sometime at the end of March we decided to start having Thursday night Zoom happy hours. And they are epic. We talk for HOURS. The shortest one was like an hour and a half. Two weeks ago, we started at 8 PM and Jen and I were the last one’s standing at 1 AM.
Somewhere along the way, the playlists started. Themed collaborative (for the most part) playlists.
The first one was an individual challenge – My Life in 15 Songs. Stacy and I had done this one a few years back, but the rest of the gang hadn’t. So we made it a thing. And a bunch of people made them.
It’s just kept going since then. Something comes up in our conversation, and then it’s dubbed the theme for the coming week’s playlist. We make them collaborative… each person gets to add three songs.
Honestly, these playlists have become my favorite thing about Quarantine. They make me smile. They’re not edited or overthought … They just ARE. And that makes them amazing. And fun. And a little glimpse at all of our personalities.
I love that this particular group of friends all gets it. Music is just our language. I could talk about music with these people forever.
Anyway, since these things are bringing me so much joy, I thought I’d share them here. They’re all on Spotify…
- My Life in 15 Songs (a few people left off, since I asked for permission to share)
- Hair Band Makeout Sesh
- Thursday Night Crew’s Guilty Pleasures
- Coming next week…MOVIE SOUNDTRACKS!
