Reading and listening to music

I love reading and listening to music. Reading to escape reality temporarily, going places I have never been or will never see. Music is universal. I love almost all genres of music, in any languish, as long as it moves me. You can always find a sound to fit any situation you may be going through. For example, I use music at work to help calm my patient. I almost always find a bond with them.
