My musical mind

After a long day at work (teaching music) I am home doing the laundry that has been calling my name for days..... I am alone in the laundry room. I start a load in the washer, set it to run, and begin to fold what is in the dryer. Fresh and warm..... I am pretty content and lost in my thoughts. Before I know it time passes and when I come back to reality, I find myself singing, not out loud but in my head. I was singing to the time being kept by the agitator of the washer. HHHmmmmm... have I totally lost it? I often think of little kids.... they sing and talk to themselves with no inhibitions at all and we think it is cute. We call them creative and artistic and know that it is a sign of intelligence. When we do those things as an adult, we are considered ready for the looney bin! But I will say that if I must do laundry (and I must) I hope I always do it with a song in my head, and a smile in my heart.
