Earth Hour 2012

I spent Earth Hour sitting at my kitchen table writing in my journal by two bright tea candles listening to my battery-run cd player. I played on of my new cds - the Red Hot Chili Peppers' new album 'I'm With You' - and enjoyed the silence for an hour while singing to some of their songs.

Can't get much better than that, eh?

I really think that would be a neat idea to do your writing by candlelight. I think it would offer a bit of inspiration. I may need to try that one night.

@digitalrn My usual candlestick was too small to hold a decent candle, so I used these tea candles and they were great! I nabbed these from a wedding reception and have used them off and on when the power went out during storms and for Earth Hour... great little holders these ones. :D

And writing by candle light can usually be bad for your eyes, but if you get holders that let off enough reflective light - like these ones - you're okay. So long you can see without squinting, you'll be okay. :D

Love your collages. Think I may have to try the write-by-candlelight idea someday. Thanks for doing your part during Earth Hour.

@digitalrn @bkbinthecity @beteljooz @loey5150 thank you all for your lovely comments. I had a good time and spent my hour well. Makes we wonder why we don't do this more often to know how fortunate we are to have electricity and all the mod-cons at our fingertips. :)
