Quality of Life

Several weeks ago, Kevin mentioned to me that the quality of his life would rise dramatically if only he could wake up to something more peaceful than the shrill BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP of our alarm clock. There once was a time in his life when he had the luxury of waking to his favorite CD. His CD alarm clock, however, became dysfunctional and ever since he’s been stuck with that pesty BEEP-BEEP-BEEP that only makes you more tired and groggy when it wakes you. So, low and behold, for his birthday, his favorite wife got him a new alarm clock that plays the CD of your choice AND also has the option of waking you with nature sounds. Among the nature sounds to choose from are rushing water, birds, wind, rainforest, and ocean sounds.

This past week, we’ve had the pleasure of waking to sounds of the ocean. I’ve become convinced that, if buying ocean front property is not in your budget in the foreseeable, immediate future, having an ocean-sounds alarm clock is surely the next best thing. We highly recommend it.

The quality of our life has indeed risen dramatically.
