Yesterday I received a lovely letter from the lady who organised the talk I did last week for the Dalry WRI group. It was a thank you note in a pretty card. It got me thinking about the things that make us feel great.
Getting something nice in the mail.
My gorgeous girl, need I say more….
Pets, even during the night!
Sunshine.
Friendship.
Coffee and cake. Tea and cake. Wine and cake.
Old things.
Butterflies.
My bro.
