After turning everything in my room off and lighting a few candles. I sat down and started reading a book I have had for a year but never read. It was a wonderful experience. I was so relaxed and just enjoyed myself. I loved it so much that I only took one electric break, after 9pm to make some tea and get my snack. I then sat and read for another hour.

This was a great experience for me and I think it is something I’m going to try to do at least once a month. I think next time I’ll head to the library for the book as the one I’m reading now will be finished by tomorrow. When I’m done I’ll write a review about it. I really can’t explain how relaxed and unstressed I am right now. It’s strange how things happen is it not?

Stupid me read everything I could about earth hour and still didn’t get that it was a traveling thing. In other words at 8pm in every time zone lights will be turned out in several major cities. So that means that at 8pm EST tonight (March 29th) I will be turning off my computer and reading by candle light.

I can’t believe I missed the part about it being 8pm in each time zone. I don’t’ think it said it that way. The article I read stated 8pm Sydney time and 0900GMT, meaning 9am. I wish they would not use army time in articles, it’s really confusing even though I knew what it meant I don’t think the person writing it did.

I was reading on yahoo today about earth hour, an hour where cities turn of all lights to major attractions and monuments. They also encourage people and businesses to do the same. I thought that would be fun to participate in. I can live for an hour without my computer, it will happen at 11am EST and I will be turning off my computer for the hour and doing something else for that time.

Unfortunately we can’t turn off everything as our heat right now comes from a combination of electric and propane and it really won’t be warm enough to turn that all off, but lights I think we can do. I think this would work better if we all did it at night in our time zone or at least in our countries. I think it would have more of an effect that way. Just my opinion though.
