I don't know about you...

But this week is already started to weigh on me. I'm currently waiting on some news regarding Elvis' lymphoma diagnosis (a topic I haven't had the heart to write about here yet, but perhaps I will soon) and a few deadlines are just feeling impossible to meet. My stomach is in knots just waiting for my phone to ring with the doctor on the other line. What I wouldn't give for a pause button right now -- something to slow down and quiet things around me just to sit and think, or even run away for a few hours.

Since I can't flee from responsibilities today, this week's playlist installment is an escape in and of itself. If you're in a similar boat of anxiety this week (a common theme lately for us all, right?), I hope this playlist soothes you in some small way.
