I've had the same problem myself recently and found a bit of a change has really perked me up. I love my routine too but sometimes it's easy to deny ourselves simple pleasures of change and discovery.

I let lj and writing slide for a bit and re-read some old fave books, made the effort to spend some time just being, watching, absorbing the moment, not rushing to tasks (or at least once home from work and with the kids in bed).

I love porcelain and china and I rarely use it any more. I dug out some pretty cups and milk jug, sugarbowl etc and now set up the tray, lay everything out and take tea like a grand dame :D

Moments are everything x
