I have a bit going on at the moment, a gravely ill sibling, a knee injury, stresses at work and so on, as we all do from time to time.

About an hour ago we decided to blow the cobwebs away with a gentle forest walk. The air is so nice there and the firmly compacted cyway is good for walking to strengthen my knee.

A few paces along the path there is a line of young pine trees and some lovely person has hung silver Christmas balls on a lot of them. I just broke into the biggest smile, it really gladdened my heart.

Just a little gesture to share with everyone to spread some happiness.

Makes me want to go down and hang some more!

How lovely Ali.

I love those little moments of pleasant surprises.

Yes, that's so lovely Ali, to find something enjoyable and uplifting when things get tough.
Best wishes,
Dawn.

How lovely, Ali, and sorry you're going through so much at the moment.

What a lovely thing for someone to do and kind wishes to you in all that you are dealing with.

I agree, you were meant to do that walk, such little things that make us smile & gladden the heart.
