That would be me today. I've been suffering from insomnia lately and it's something that plagues me for seasons from time to time. It seems rare for me to get a good night's rest. Last night was exceptionally bad. I was up tossing and turning starting at 2:30 am and then got up to run at 5 (I probably should have called it off and called in tired, but I really wasn't tired...I'd been up for hours).
It will most likely be one of those survival days. I hate days like that, when I am really not good for much. Foggy in the head...
Stunning - love this. Shame sorry about your insomnia. Can't believe you still managed a run. Well done and hope you find the energy you need to get you through today and that you sleep better tonight.
Sorry for the lack of sleep. Been there many a time and I know that it is NOT fun. If you haven't done it already, give melatonin a try. That stuff does wonders for me!
Perfect illustration of the day after a night of insomnia ....I know that feeling....I have insomnia too...the only remedy I found is sport : I run, I do Zumba, I walk....physical exercices help me stop thinking ...
@fishy I think that it is partially due to 365?! Could it effect you like that, too? That is sick. I was lying there trying to think of titles, shots, what to write. Crazy stuff.
@taffy Thanks so much for the fav, my friend. Hope to zzzzzz soon:).
@tonydebont Really appreciate the kind words and fav, Tony!!
Well first of all let me say that I love this shot and it's worthy of a fav. Secondly, have you ever had an aromatherapy massage? If you get the opportunity get one with ylang ylang essential oil. I used to have clients that suffered from insomnia and discovered that the best oil was ylang ylang, it never seemed to fail. It can be used alongside lavender oil which is also quite a good soporific and smells wonderful xx
Oh dear, that doesn't sound pleasant - the insomnia. On the other hand, this photograph is stunning - I love the focus. So beautiful, calming, peaceful. Fav for me, Amanda.
Thanks so much all for your kind words, encouragement, faves and suggestions. Thanks to Lisa's suggestion for an aromatherapy massage, I convinced hubby to massage me before bed last night and I slept like a baby. I so needed a good night. Hope that it becomes the norm soon as the foggy head is tough to deal with. Thank you again and happy weekend!
@amandal Hey, I'm really pleased to read this. Maybe it's not necessarily the oils you use but just the fact that you're relaxing with the massage but either way I'm glad it worked for you...good excuse to get hubby to do it on a regular basis eh ;o) xx
fav - so pretty and lovely - have only suffered occassionly from inability to sleep - turing off the mind usually my problem - maybe you get more done than you think as your brain works full time at night :o)
Wow, what a fabulous shot, Amanda. Love the framing and the fog. I would not have kept this photo because of the blur of the fog but looking at it here makes me realize that I have been wrong and have to keep and post photos that are not totally clear like this one. It is a beautiful photo and great for the day you had. You are too funny. Hope you are getting more sleep than that night. FAV
@amandal I have to put this one in my head and remember that blurry backgrounds are not only ok, they are awesome. You are very welcome for the comments and faves. I am glad you are sleeping better lately. Take care.
@taffy Thanks so much for the fav, my friend. Hope to zzzzzz soon:).
@tonydebont Really appreciate the kind words and fav, Tony!!
Hope 'your fog' clears up soon and wish you better nights !
