Little interesting things

I have come to the conclusion that life is short. Even though it might feel long. 70 80 90 100 years in the great scheme of things is nothing really. I have spent a lot of my life worrying about one thing or another and although it is importent to worry about some things. other things.......not so much. We need to appreciate the little moments. It really sounds a bit new age I know but it is really that easy.  Take tonight for instance. The kids are asleep and outside the summer is in full swing. Rather than plonk myself in front of the TV I thought I would sit out for 30 mins. The other day I took a 20 minute walk with our youngest in the pram it was great. 5 years ago we lost our collie dog and I used to moan about taking him out. Now I realise he was actually doing me a favour by taking me out. Enjoy the little moments then life wont go by so fast.

It has now been two weeks since we arrived back from our holiday. We have had one christening,  two house moves (family) and moved the office to the playroom and vice versa. It has been busy. I have come up with a new idea for a short story which is about a Battle of Britain Hurricane pilot who gets shot down and wakes up in a cottage in the countryside. Where he is looked after by an old fellow,  who spends most of his day growing veg for the war effort,  and the district nurse. I have a novel which has been ongoing for about 9 years which is approaching the finish line. Photos have been taken but I have only posted one up to instagram that I am happy with. Do you need to feel relaxed to do work you are pleased with? The rain is coming down but I have to say it is welcome. I do like a drop of rain.
