Night-time is a precious time. A time to drift into blissful sleep, a time to dream and float off to another place, and of course a time to let our body rest and heal.
I realise now than in order to make the best of those hours I need to prepare myself. Nothing too dramatic, more what I need to avoid really!
If I watch the late news at 10pm I can become quite upset by the media coverage of bad news, harrowing stories and the latest statistics on UK crime.
I can't do anything about the information they're bombarding me with, and it won't benefit anyone if I'm lying awake with the dramatic news footage going round and round in my head, so I allow myself the early news (if I really feel the need) but no news after that!
A cosy bath, a gentle book - bliss! Your night-time regime might not fit mine of course, so do whatever helps you make the most of those special few hours.
On that note...I must go to bed :)
"And if tonight my soul may find her peace in sleep, and sink in good oblivion, and in the morning wake like a new - opened flower then I have dipped again in God, and new created." - D. H. Lawrence
hope you have sweet dreams! XX
ReplyDeleteI love lying in bed, being warm and cosy, listening to the wind howling outside and the rain lashing on the window. Lovely feeling, safe and protected.
