The women in my life

Today I am grateful for the wonderful women who are my mam and sisters.

Since starting to write this blog, they have given me so much encouragement and support...not that they didn't before, you understand!!

I guess that we probably all feel that our own wee world is boring and inconsequential to others. I know I do. Why would anyone else be bothered to read about what I've been doing? Yet since I've started this it's been so good to know that those of you who are following it seem to be enjoying it.

It is certainly brightening up my days. Both in the thinking about all that I have to be thankful for, and in the sheer pleasure of sitting here writing it down. Even the act of sitting down and writing for ten, maybe fifteen minutes is giving me that extra ten/fifteen minutes of calm and quiet that I so often think I am being deprived of. It's just a matter of recognising a good thing when it happens...living in the moment!!!

So, to those aforementioned wonderful women, and all the other wonderful people in my life...Thank You.

Gratefully yours.
