The trees are still this morning.Rick Stein is chatting away in the background on tv and It's Saturday again. I've just been doing a bit of blog hopping reading some lovely moments from bloggy friends inspired by
Alison's blog and decide to join in - I'm sipping my tea thinking how things have changed from this time last year...my mind wanders every now and then to sadder things - how stressed I was,how unknown it all was when it all began and I snap myself out of gloomy feelings. There are about twelve layouts laying on the side in the craft room - I really must get them in an album. I smile to myself as I think about
all my stuff that himself had placed on our table in the dining room that I'd left
laying all over the place - yes I'd been tidied again..and true to form I have
not done anything with it - just to make a point.... like it really matters in the great scheme of things....
The dog is padding about behind me and is watching something in the garden- has she thrown her crusts out for the birds again and not given me any? Christmas is not that far away now and two sons have declared they are going to be going away just afterwards-I'm happy they are happy and grateful they will be around for Christmas day...
A growl and bark from the other room breaks the silence and I jump back into reality- yay it's my Next delivery- new rug time - I haven't ordered anything for the home for ages..time to get the scissors and attack the parcel.Looking forward to a nice few hours of doing exactly what I want - heating on - and Strictly tonight too...

I love receiving parcels! Will we get to see a pic of the new rug? :)
Lovely to share in your moment, Denise x
Lovely to read, Denise: your writing has taken me straight there, and I felt I jumped too at the thought of something nice arriving in the post. I can read between the lines that's it been a difficult time ... Thinking of you and thank-you so much for letting me know you were going to join in. :)
what a lovely - everyday - moment. These become more pleasurable after coming through a time of stress, I think.

I know how hard it is for you to cast your mind back to this time last year and think about all that has happened. But look how well you have coped with everything and how proud your dad would be with all the arrangements and things you have done. This last year has tested you beyond limits and you have come out the other side;a little bruised and battered emotionally but you have survived.
Love the way you have written this Denise, I can really imagine you sitting there at that moment in time.
