The most priceless gift...


There is no saying how much it can brighten a person's day. It costs nothing and requires only a moment of your time. A moment not measurable in time really. It can change someone's mood, their thoughts, their heart. It can light up a room, plant hope and send love. It can encourage a child, and help them to see the humanity we as adults easily loose sight of. It is the shortest distance between two people. It can calm a storm and settle the unsettling. There's nothing quite so beautiful as a smile.

Nostalgia









This morning I saw a van for a chimney sweep. I didn't know that they were still around. Fair enough nowadays they probably do it slightly differently and travel around in big vans but I do love a bit of nostalgia. Memories of Dick Van Dyk and a rendition of 'Chim Chimeny' rolls through the sweet childhood memories of my mind.
