Slow down, turn on the sound and take a couple of minutes to enjoy this!
Let me tell you something that makes this even better:
Vivaldo worked for 30 years as the music teacher for an orphanage. Most of his compositions were written for the students there, both boys and girls; the boys were taught trades, and the girls got a musical education that was an advantage to making a good marriage. Many of the girls became part of the orphanage choir, which was quite famous. Imagine something like Father Guido Sarducci presiding over a co-ed Facts of Life, and you’ve got Vivaldi’s actual life.
That video there? That’s what Vivaldi had in mind. That’s what he would have wanted. The Red Priest, as he was known, must be smiling in heaven to see this.
Friendly reminder that the reason you feel so much better is because of your meds, don’t stop taking them unless you talk to your doctor first, you really do need them, I promise.
Around June I stopped taking my eye medication because I hadn’t had a problem with my eyes in months. I got really lazy about doing it; then I stopped them altogether.
Turns out, the reason I stopped having problems with my eyes was because I was religiously taking my medication. Whodathunk. Now I have to work to get back to the place I was before I decided I was “better” (I wasn’t!).
If you thought this post was just about anti-depressants or lithium, it could be! For me, this post is about eyedrops, for you it might be about antibiotics, or it might be about zoloft. Whatever it is, please consider talking to your doctor before making a sudden shift to stop taking it. It’s not bad to be on medication. It’s not bad to need it.
…and on a related note, do not let anyone tell you that because you start feeling worse if you don’t take your medication, that means you’re “addicted”. That is not how addiction works.
