Celebrating small things

What's worth celebrating in your world today? Here's my two penn'orth.

My little brother came to stay last weekend and came with us to see Sean Hughes, who was very funny. He (my brother, not Sean) brought me some flowers, which are still going strong, and a bottle of wine, which has gone.

I have finally finished an article that has been sitting in my in-tray for quite a while. I don't know why I procrastinated, because once I sat down and wrote the darn thing it came together quite well. Fingers crossed that the editor thinks so.

We're off to a celebratory barn dance tomorrow to mark the 25th wedding anniversary of our friends Rosie and Robin. Take your partners...

Celebrate the Small Things  is a blog hop. Visit Lexa's Blog for the rules, and then post every Friday about something you're grateful  for that week. Originated by VikLit) and co-hosted by L.G. Keltner @ Writing Off The Edge and Tonja Drecker @ Kidbits Blog.

  1. Glad you got over your procrastination and wrote that article; I think sometimes we overthink things too much. Have a great weekend :)

  2. Yes, Julia, small things are good. Hubby painted the door frames to my writing room today. Looks nice and gleamy white now. He's allergic to paint, so it means a lot for him to do that. Also, what have I done? Went for an early morning swim. Twenty lengths and remembered to return a library book before it went overdue. Those are the important small things for today.

    1. Thanks, Suzanne. The barn dance was great fun, but you'd be surprised how many people never took to the floor.
