Yesterday I was having a particularly bad pain day, and it has been an awful two weeks lately, feeling unwell, so this was like the straw that broke the camels back type of day.
I was saying, how my life sucked so much, and how fed up I was of having these problems, (yep feeling sorry for myself) when my daughter Melissa chips in saying" well Mum it isn't that bad because you have ME," that really brought a smile to my face, and I said in return "yes I am very lucky to have two great kids, furbabies and a hubby," it did help put things into perspective and made me feel better, now i know why I had those two rascals of mine. lol.
Then to top it off my son said something really nice too, we were discussing winning lotto, dreaming yet again, and he said Mum I don't know why you don't get good things coming back to you, because you are a nice person and always doing good things for others, I could not believe my ears, this coming from my boy,and he was not even joking, I felt so good to think he thought that way about me and he had never expressed it before.
It just goes to show how a simple gesture, kind word, can really lift one's spirits and help one get through the day, try to remember to do that at least now and then to those you love.
Sorry if it sounds like I am blowing my own trumpet here, but I really wanted to share this, so we can all keep in mind to do something nice for someone today, you never know how important that just might be.
