A Spring in my Step...

Spring is round the corner (although if you live where I do, its a bit difficult to tell) and with it, the distinct whiff of possibility. The news is filled with news of rapist fathers, financial crises and general doom and gloom so I thought I would buck the trend. As the sun comes out, I thought it was about time to spread it around and hopefully put a little smile on everyone's face...even if its just for a moment...

Spring is here!  Woop-de-woop! Okay so it means buying the kids (and some of the adults) Easter eggs, cooking a special dinner and thinking about what Easter is really all about, but it also means warmer weather, summer is on its way and at least 2 bank holidays...tell me who could not do with an extra long weekend to take a load off?

Cheesy but true - family and friends are priceless so thanks you guys for putting up with all our s**t and still being there!

A new day - its like having a new slate and yesterday's mistakes are today's opportunities...

Love and passion - there are different kinds (family, job, friends, partner) but they are all important.  As I watch a football match where grown men are reduced to hugging each other in jubilation after someone had kicked a dead cow into a net, I realise that if some of that was invested in relationships all over the world, maybe things could be a little different, who knows?  But I love love...it can be messy, tricky, hopelessly difficult to figure out but it ultimately makes the world go round....awwwwww.....

Hugs and kisses - giving them, receiving them.  They can be so underrated but two of the sexiest things that couples can do to themselves and the best way to put a smile on someone's face.  Speaking of smiles...

Smiles...it can make someone's day and is the best facial exercise and a free facelift....

The quiet - especially after the kids have gone to school, the calm tranquil bliss that allows the mind to cease thinking and just be...until you have to go and pick them up from school...

I love the smell just after its rained, it smells fresh as if everything has been washed and is clean...

So there it is, this article does not make sense nor is it designed to...it is just a little positive rant of all the things that we can do and think about because like the song says, the best things in life are free...
