This is a pause. Empty space doesn't always have to be filled. Tonight I'm savouring the silence...

Sunday

A day of perfect sunny weather is followed by a grey skies and wind-driven rain. Typical spring weather. Never mind, just as well I like rainy days. Especially when they're on the weekend and I can curl up on the couch with a book. I admit that it hasn't been a very productive weekend but it's been refreshing and restful, I'm sad that it's almost over. I'm dreading tomorrow.

Sleep

It's late and my brain has gone into shut down mode. I have nothing inspired to say. I can't hardly think straight. All I want to do is get ready for bed and drift off into a deep sleep without waking till morning. So while I do that, here are some inspired thoughts on sleep by Arianna Huffington, co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post. 

"The way to a more productive, more inspired, more joyful life is getting enough sleep."

The Wednesday That Was

1:30  ::  Trying to put a baby to sleep when they really want to play is pointless.  Just saying.

2:10  ::  Outside again. Why can't the weather make its mind up about whether or not to rain.

2:30  ::  Children's afternoon tea - hmm, smoothies.

2:50  ::  My afternoon break - hmm, coffee!

3:30  ::  General craziness ensues.
