Magic Moments - I Can See Clearly Now...





You know that song, by Johnny Nash....you know...this one, yeah, that one!  Well it refused to leave my head yesterday.  Point blank refused.

I know it's hideously British to carp on about the weather constantly, but yesterday morning Wiggles and I went for a walk together and ladies and gentlemen, after what feels like an eternity of never ending driving rain and impossible wind it was sunny.  Actually sunny.

In fact the sun shone on our faces as we walked and all but melted away the memory of it ever being any different.  It was exactly what I needed.  We went up hill and down dale and came back pink cheeked and cobweb free.  It feels like so long since I've felt a little too warm in my coat, I've missed that.

I looked up and I saw this:


I looked down and I saw this:


Wiggles was in her pram, jabbering away to herself about cats.  I hummed the above mentioned tune to myself in eternally optimistic fashion and Pearl the Pug trotted along beside us.  I had one of those rare and beautiful moments when I just felt so thankful for the small, sometimes over looked things which surround us.

It struck me that, yes, I could focus on the fact that one of the things I can see ahead of me is a dog's bum hole.  But I refuse!  I choose to see sunshine.  I choose to see a smiley kiddo and I choose to enjoy the fresh air and ignore the bum hole.  I think that's a pretty good philosophy to have in life.  Ignore the bum holes my lovelies and enjoy the sun!

Happily linking up with Jaime and Magic Moments.  Happy Monday one and all!
