A day like to-day when then sun is shining
Seeing a bird rest on a branch of a bush I’ve just planted
Noticing that my hellebores have survived another winter and are blooming, like to-day
Looking in my bread machine to discover that the bread has risen perfectly when it’s for someone else as to-day for my daughter
After breaking the ice on the bird bath, seeing them all queuing up for a turn to bathe
Listening to a favourite piece of music when you can relax and drink it in
Watching my dogs sleep peacefully
Watching a painting I've been struggling with, just ‘come right’
On answering the telephone and hearing one of my family say ‘Hi Nan or Hi Mum’
The sheer bliss of getting in to a warm bed after a chilly night out
The unexpected pleasure of a lovely bunch of flowers from the kitchen manufacturers where I purchased mine from
The sense of freedom by having the privilege of walking my dogs almost anywhere I want
Being sound, mentally and physically, I say this after reading of the struggle a woman is having just getting her legs to move after a spinal injury
Most of all
Being British !
I'll stop here as I don't wish to be a bore
