    I’m sorry I missed the classical concert tonight at SSCC. By attending a classical concert, it is a wonderful way to “clear out your mind…. and re-focus”. Really, classical music helps the soul with meditation. I understand that pilates helps in similar ways. I have never done pilates. But, I know you need to practice. Meditation allows you to clear out all the “stuff” and focus on what you really need and want in your life. This should not be confused with prayer or religious affilation. This is in addition to your prayers. I highly recommend listening to classical music in the car while communiting, and at other times. It helps you remain calm and focused. That can’t be bad!

Sorry, comment time is over.
