Last night I visited a friend who had some amazing news, she's fallen in love. She has known the guy since she was 15 years old and they last saw each other in 1993, but after a trip abroad to see him last week they have fallen for each other hook, line and sinker...and I couldn't be happier for her. When my friend met my husband for the first time she said she wanted to "Meet her Paul", as you may have guessed "Paul" is my husband. It took us a year to work out the kinks in our relationship, but once we made a commitment to each other there was no looking back, we just fit. Last night my friend told me she now knows she has "Met her Paul" After my evening I came home and received a text from her saying "Remember only positive thoughts". This is her response to my recently stressed state. So I told my husband I loved him and added my friends comment, that she has found her "Paul", he smiled and laughed, and I explained that I am so very thankful that I found him. By telling my husband this before I went to sleep I spent my whole night dreaming of my husband, and this I do not mind. I t meant I woke this morning smiling and so very thankful that I get to wake up next to him. He toddled off to work and my food delivery arrived with a very smiley man, who was just the right side of chatty for an early morning delivery. As soon as I unpacked my shopping I emailed his company to thank them for my delivery and to pass on a compliment to their driver for making my day a little brighter. This got me wondering, how often do we thank people for small but significant acts of courtesy, kindness and mood altering smiles? How often do we tell those we love how we feel about them? I wager if we said these things out loud or even via text or email the world would be a lot brighter place. Go on give it a whirl, lets change the world one smile at a time :) |
