Last weekend we decided to get the week’s grocery supplies from Reading Terminal Market. While at the market, I came across a beeswax candle shop and decided to buy some candles. Later after the sun set I asked my husband if he’d be willing to to spend the rest of the night in candle light. He said yes….and we did.

We’ve spent every night since then in candle light and its been an interesting experiment so far. For example, it seems that its easier to go to sleep since we haven’t had any bright lights for several hours. Our home seems to much more peaceful being basked in candle light instead of a harsher electric light that simulates daylight. Our place seems quieter even though we continue to use our computers and refrigerator. We don’t know how long we plan on doing this, but you should try it once in awhile. Try reading by candle light, eating by candle light…everything seems much more gentle, and quiet.
