Happy Tuesday! Listening to Blackmore’s Night, as I look for quotes. Always need some good music to listen to when I work on posts. Tuesday’s though are usually the only days I listen to music with lyrics. When writing stories I just like having relaxing instrumental music in the background. Do you listen to music when working on posts? If so, what kind?
I hope you can enjoy some good music while taking a few moments to relax and read the following quotes. As always, feel free to share which one or ones you liked the most. Have a wonderful day!

I often listen to Back choral music while working because I like the way it sounds and it is sung in German, which I don’t understand, so it doesn’t distract me.

I like Bach’s classical pieces. That would be one way to not have the lyrics distract you, I don’t understand German either. Here I thought you might say you listen to Ozzy, Bach or Back, is better. LOL!

I can’t have anything trying to give me a message while I am working. Bach’s choral pieces have a religious message, but I can’t understand it in German. It is peaceful.

So what was your favorite quote? Guess I should have had a music one. 🙂

Granny was my favorite character! 🙂 Though I did often think it would be fun to own a pet monkey, like Ellie Mae did. 🙂

I try to avoid listening to anything. I hate music, and the TV is full of morons. So I keep things quiet while writing.
I like #1 & 6 the best today. Having sat on cacti before, I know what it’s like. And it’s pretty brave to admit you’re hurting after doing something stupid like sitting on a cactus.

The cactus was my favorite too. Good advice — a problem doesn’t seem as thorny when it is just a small part of the landscape and there is some distance between it and the present moment. 🙂

Opera mood this afternoon… probably because I’m on my feet today. Now listening to Sumi Jo singing Vivaldi’s, “Sposa son Disprezzata”, Irene’s aria, from the opera, “Bajazet”. Magnificent voice.

If I am writing a post, then I cannot listen to music for it distracts me, pulls my thoughts this way and that. If I am re-blogging, doing a Jolly Monday post, or something else that doesn’t require much brain-power, then I can listen to music, but rarely do.
All good quotes, but #7 & #8 particularly hit their mark. Have a good rest-of-the-week, my friend. 😊

As a retired teacher, I love #2. Children learn at their own pace. I also like #3 and #7. Does it mean that I watch too much television if I can still sing the opening to the Beverly Hillbillies? Some classic characters—Jed, Granny, Jethro, Ellie Mae, and Miss Hathaway just to name a few.

Joy, a pearl of wisdom from Granny of the Beverly Hillbillies. Reminds me of my wife’s Aunt Mary. Her retort to my wife’s mother who was raving about the good looks of a young man they knew at one time was simple. “He looks like a poor pasture to lead your cows into.” Keith

People who lack common sense (i.e., the ones Granny is talking about) are guilty on both counts. 😆

as for the first quote, isn’t a difficult journey more rewarding in the end, since you will appreciate the struggles you went through? Not sure if that means we should sit on a cactus or not…
