Most of the things are very simple, but it's these little things that make for a happy life. Like sleeping on clean sheets for the first time (I love clean sheet night), hot tea on a cold and dreary winter's day, warm fuzzy socks, walks in the park, reading in bed. Gee. I'm happier already! Thanks. Suzanne The Working Writer's Coach http://www.workingwriterscoach.com Sondra,

If our mind, body and spirit are in sync, creativity blooms within us, and flowers around us. I appreciate your thoughts. So true!

I read somewhere that inspiration can awaken you at 2 in the morning, so I don't fight it, I embrace it. Thank you for your insight and inspiration. What a great article!

I find that when I write down my to-do list as they pop into my head (I keep a pad by my bed) I can allow my mind to let go of things I need to do later and just focus on how good it feels to relax.

To be just awake, and snuggled under the blankets while the mind drifts into all sorts of plotting ideas. They truly are the most creative hours of the day.

Many a night have I lay awake thinking, thinking, thinking. The most annoying is when it's the same line of thought over and over - and not even any useful line of thought! I have though, come up with a few poems, the beginnings and ends of stories, ideas to jot down, and the odd thought that required recording. Usually, at the end of one of these insomniac sessions I can fall asleep. Mad scribbling when everyone else is asleep can act as a sleeping agent. Once the burst of creativity is appeased, I relax and close my eyes... Oh, yes! Many a night have I lay awake thinking, thinking, thinking.
