During my work nights I’ve been lighting candles, especially on cold nights. It provides a nice warm ambient light and a scent to delight dreams. As an added bonus: When I wake up in the morning the light is soft enough on the early morning eye.
I’ve been trying to do small things for myself to help ease stress. I made some miso ramen on the stove today while doing some after work tidying, and currently enjoying some hot cocoa before bed while being accompanied by the alluring scent of watermelon. Last night it was successful in ensnaring me in a peaceful watermelon patch filled dream. I just hope that if I dream again tonight, that I don’t accidentally collect a tree this time. You have no idea how much that can affect one’s carryweight.
