In the past I've blogged about how I've used my insomnia to invent crafty ideas; there's no doubt much of my inspiration comes in uninspiring moments. Not last night. Last night's sleeplessness was filled with a longing for the night to be over and for tomorrow to come. When I was at my grumpiest however, I suddenly remembered our last summer holiday away.
Sleep is often high on your to-do agenda when you're on holiday, however, I remembered the day when both girls were awake and restless and we convinced them to take a walk on the beach in their PJs to see the sun rise. It was a magic moment.
So I guess today's blog post has nothing to do with parties or craft, but it is about sharing a secret; finding time to rest is important, we need it; it's vital to restore our souls, recharge our batteries, reinvent ourselves... but in those moments when it alludes us, perhaps rather than become bitter and twisted (as I am oh so want to do) perhaps it can't hurt to think outside the rectangle so to speak, leave our tired old ways behind us for a moment. Perhaps by swapping old habits for new and mixing things up a little bit, we might just be gifted with unexpected delights. x
