The brightest star

Oh what a joy it is to find something beautiful in a totally unexpected place!

I was working today. On my feet and doing paper work for most of it. It was a real wintry day...cold, wet and windy.

It was, of course, dark by the time I was finished, and I headed back through town to collect my car, and drive out to Shannon to collect Megan.

The sleety rain was coming and going, and, as is usually the case, when I reached the main street, the green man turned red and I had to stop.

Basically, it was miserable standing there, waiting for the lights to change.

As I pulled my hood tighter round me, I looked down....and there it was, on the wet road in front of me....a beautiful star.

My brightest star

What a lovely surprise!

Today I am grateful for beautiful things in unexpected places, and the joy that they bring to a weary heart.

Keep your eyes peeled and your hearts open. You just never know!

Gratefully yours.
