The simplest things...

...can sometimes be the hardest!

I've had an incredible week and I've wanted to write about it but the few attempts I've had have been...well pretty pants (rubbish)!  My first attempt was pathetic...it was no where near adequate, my second was a fair reflection on how I feel at the moment but it just didn't read very well and my last attempt...there are no words to describe just how ridiculous it was.

My last post ended up being a bit of a Sunday morning moan, which is a blimin cheek!  I have a great life...I really am blessed!  I was thinking the other day that I must have a guardian angel, who granted on occasion has maybe taken some extended holidays, but on the whole I do feel like I've got someone looking after me.  But the reality is not that I have someone looking out for me but that I have got lots of people who look out for me (in addition to my guardian angel of course - I'm thinking along the lines of Clarence Odbody from 'It's a Wonderful Life'!).

I have to admit that I am writing this very much for my own benefit.  I know that when things get a little difficult or challenging that it is very easy to forget all the amazing things that I have in my life.  SO the plan is that when I start to moan that 'life is not fair' I'll hopefully read this to remind me of two things:-

1.  The REPEATED conversations I used to have with my dad when I was wee (I say wee, we probably had this conversation within the past year)...

Me:    Och min....life's not fair!
Dad:  Who said life is fair?

Short but to the point, I'm sure you'll agree!!

2.  What a difference all the amazing people in my world make to my life.  From the friends who pop round for a cuppa, a chat and a laugh; the wee reminders letting me know that I'm in someones thoughts to the friends who make "small" gestures which mean the world to me!!  I have family & friends around me to celebrate wins or pick me up when I fall and stand by me when I need their strength and support.  And there are all the times I've been forgiven!!  I make mistakes, many mistakes...I try to ensure that I vary them so that no one gets bored, but whatever form they take, they are still there...and I'm lucky enough to have people around me who forgive me.

So me-of-the-future, if you dare to feel sorry for yourself without GOOD reason, and even then, please take a moment to remember that you are still one very lucky lady!!
