I was sat by the fire, and there was a knock on our door.
It was Rachael.
I had sent her a text earlier in the day to tell her that I'd developed 'Larry Jytus' and felt chuffin' sorry for myself? and so, in true Catherine Tate 'style' she'd COME T'SEE ME?! and she'd brought me a Birthday Present as well, gawd bless 'er....! Actually, I look nothing LIKE Catherine Tate, and I'm not as old as Nan neither!
Her Birthday Present to me is a magical book called THE SECRET, which she told me about a few months back when I first met her.
When I first met Rachael, the twinkle and smile in her eyes truly intrigued me.
And having read most of the book now, I understand exactly where that 'twinkle' and 'smile' came from - and I am truly grateful to her for the very twinkle and smile that adorns my own face now.
You see, I think it's actually 'little things' that we should be grateful for, because all of those go to make up the really big things in life eventually.
I read a perfectly lovely bit in that book yesterday that said something like:
"When you put your first foot on the floor out of your bed in the morning, you should say "THANK" and the other foot on the floor should say "YOU" and every step to the Bathroom should be "THANKYOU.THANKYOU.THANKYOU" etc. and why not?
I'm a firm believer in that if we don't have gratitude for what we have, how can we expect more lovely things in our lives?
And the more gratitude we have, the more lovely things will surely come our way.
