Jet lag is a funny thing. Since I landed in Dublin on Sunday morning at 4am, I’ve been mostly wide awake. I thought I’d be exhausted and struggling to keep my eyes open in work, but I’m wide awake. All day, all evening, and all night long. Awake and buzzing.
I’m starting to suspect that my buzzing is really a result of those two weeks off – my brain had a chance to start thinking about a million ideas. Christmas gifts to make, projects to tackle around the house, articles and books to write. The ideas are endless and my brain has been refusing to shut off.
It’s a good thing, although I do wish there was more time in the day to actually do all these ideas! Soon, I hope.
So while I wrestle with my buzzing brain, I thought I’d share a few photos I took in China Village and Portland while I was home in Maine last week. They’re peaceful and calming. I’m hoping my brain gets the message – at least for a few hours!
First, China Village.
And my other home away from home, the lovely Portland. With seriously blue, blue sky.
{See those metal things on the outside of the building? The coolest Christmas lights ever, hand crafted by a Maine native. I was so bummed I didn’t get to see them lit!}
Peaceful and calming. What do you do when your brain runs away with (or without!) you? Any tips for chilling out?
