Oh! I forgot all about this! Hello again. I have returned thanks to a friend who has just started a new blog of her own. I've not known her long, but we've quickly become partners in crime (hehehehe).
As per usual I am procrastinating, today by reading inspirational things on the internets. I've cried and laughed at Nick Vujicic (the man born with no arms and no legs but a whole load of life) and 1000 Awesome Things (buy the book!) and it strikes me. I am incredibly lucky. Not just because I have all these thousands of wonderful things in my life, but because I recognise them for what they are; Little nuggets of happiness in amongst university work and house work and actual employed work. Amongst all the mud and slime of the stuff I have to do are the little wriggly interesting things I want to do. Like having a natter and making a friend feel better, or buying tickets to a comedy show for someone who needs a laugh. When my sister rings and spends ten minutes of her day telling me about the painting she's just done based on her favourite book, or when my brother rings and tells me he's been offered a doctorate degree in Italy. When I can ring my Mum and tell her I'll be able to come home for our family gathering to see people I haven't seen since I was about 4foot tall, or hearing my Dad smile down the phone just at my greeting.
There is a lot in my life I have to be grateful for. Now I think I'll add to the list and make myself a nice cup of tea.
