Jet-lag and daylight saving – Sleep problems anyone?

Last month I arrived home from a European /North American trip. On the last leg of my journey I flew from Quebec to Sydney via LA.  It covered many hours and time zones (I reckon it’s best not to count them) and crossed the date line.  So one day disappeared completely.

Our return coincided with the arrival of Daylight Saving.  Some of Australia, (not all -but that’s another topic) lost an hour’s sleep as the clocks went forward so the sunrise was later in the morning. 

Talk about confused body clocks!

Travelling, packing and journals

Right now I am travelling.  Apologies for my silence but I have been drinking in the beauty of Europe, the joys of meeting old friends and family and listening to new places. 

As you know I’m a believer in journaling.  The process of learning as you put pen to paper, making a note of what you have seen and heard, then reflecting on what that might mean.  It gives me the added ability to sit above what I might be thinking or feeling and recognise them as my thoughts or feelings. 

I had planned to journal often as we travelled but I haven’t been drawn to it as much as I usually am.  

It may be the journal I’ve brought with me.
