A little gift

Today I had a little gift.

I was engrossed setting up my new website and heard the alarm but knew I had 30 minutes to go.

I left with plenty of time and walked to my yoga class and suddenly realised it didn't start at 10.30 but 10am! It's a gorgeous day, sun shining, really warm and I didn't want to waste my exercise time, so I went into the park with my mat. Stretching under an old tree with the sun beaming down. Heavenly.

I watched as a couple laid the ashes of their loved one to rest in the rose bushes and I paused and said a prayer to them. A robin popped up to say hello, I know my dad is watching over me sending me his love.

As I finished I noticed a gentleman, with his morning paper, radio, flask of tea and custard tart. I wandered over and said hello. We struck up a lovely conversation and he asked me to stop by his 'office' next time I'm in the park for another chat.

To make it perfect I managed to tempt my husband away from his work laptop with a cup of tea and pain au raisin for 10 minutes.

Today I had not one but lots of lovely gifts for my morning 💜
