The Sounds Of a Waterfall

I’ve been having trouble relaxing at night. It seems I’m staying awake later and later. When I do lay down in bed, I just stare into the darkness. I can’t seem to get tired. I was thinking about that the other night and realized the last time I slept really good was at my mom’s house this summer. I was in my old bedroom trying to sleep when it began to rain outside. I could hear the rain beating down on the roof and the sound of the water was so comforting that I drifted off quickly.

I don’t know what it is about rain and the sound of water in general that calms me. My husband is the same way, in fact. The sound of rain always makes him tired. Near the ocean or around any moving water, my soul is at peace. If only I could bring that feeling into my bedroom every night….

You might not believe this but I actually found a way to bring the soothing sound of water into my bedroom. I’ve looked at Water Fountains for in front of my house, mostly because my son Nick has always had his heart set on one, but I didn’t realize there were Indoor Water Fountains as well. Considering my husband is in construction and has built some pretty lavish homes, you’d think I would have run into one of these before.

While the floor models are very pretty and would look great in one particular corner of my bedroom, I worry about the kids or the dog (or the kids AND the dog together) getting a little boisterous and knocking it over. Yes, it can happen in my bedroom, too. Trust me, it’s the reason one of my closet door mirrors is cracked. But I digress.

What really caught my eye were the beautiful Wall Fountains. Yes, you read that right. These fountains mount on the wall which is why the site is called Soothing Walls. There are so many different styles, some taller, others wide. I’ve never seen anything like this before.

Interestingly, in 16 years I have not hung one single picture on my bedroom walls. I’ve got all my other walls decorated nicely but not the bedroom. My husband asked me to please leave those walls bare because that’s how he likes them, so I did. That means that I have A LOT of wall space in my bedroom to put a wall fountain. Since my husband loves the sound of water when he’s sleeping, I just know that he’d be fine with hanging one of these on our bedroom wall.

Can you imagine how wonderful it will be to lulled to sleep by the sound of a gentle waterfall? Seriously, I think I’m getting tired just thinking about it. And you know with my birthday coming up very soon, this is going right at the top of my list. My husband has been bugging me about getting rid of our jacuzzi and I think I might just agree to that if he’s willing to surprise me with one of these indoor water fountains. After all, a girl only turns 50 once, right?
