..........Good things come in............

...threes.............and they did today.

A text just after 9.00 a.m............ warning me of an impending visit..........I'd only just got up after a semi decent night's sleep....so........breakfast for the cats.........breakfast for me............and then a tidy...........vacuumed the downstairs...........bathroom spruced up...........kitchen put in some semblance of order......a wine delivery arrived........another coffee.....all done at a slow pace as today is not a good day......

Almost bang on 1.30 a car pulled up..........followed almost immediately by the Asda delivery van............and two little whirl winds took charge............my dear, dear friends Jo and Lisa......all the groceries put away..........tea and coffee made...cats admired.......and then the questions.....and my recounting of my recent medical adventures....eyes went misty (mine mainly)............and then Nat arrived.with the twins.......mood lightened instantly.

Some times.......when it's not a good day.......when there are no plans.....when a day alone stretches in front of you........it's easy to wallow........to feel low...........and then something happens like today......that reminds you you're not on your own......that brings a smile........and reminds you that you are loved and cared for....and that it's up to you to change bad days to good days........not to wallow..............to fill the day with something............anything............to take your life and make something of it.......not to let your life make something of you that you don't want to be.

So thank you Jo, Lisa and Nat (and the little ones) for reminding me what's important.....and that I can make a difference to me!
