I fell off the “summer CD” bandwagon when I stopped burning CDs. (Our house hasn’t had a CD player in it in probably 10 years, which is another weird thing about getting old but anyway). And even though I’ve been making playlists for years it just didn’t occur to me to start doing it again, until summer 2019. And what a glorious summer it was, to again have a soundtrack, to have songs that connect with specific memories! It made me realize how easy it is to let go of things that bring us joy, unintentionally. I didn’t wake up one morning and decide not to make a soundtrack of my summer anymore. I just…. Forgot.

I’ve included a list of resources at the bottom of this post, so that you can take action, right now. So that you don’t have to say “I don’t know what to do” or even “I’ll do it later”.
