Firstly friends, apologies for my lack of blogging recently, I’m afraid I have been lacking motivation to do anything.
After another disappointing weekend, and a few frustrating weeks at work, I was all set to sit down and vent to you in cyberspace, however today’s turn of events changed my mind.
Firstly, on Sunday night I read a new regency romance novel by my favourite author of the genre, Julia Quinn, whilst enjoying a particularly tasty glass of red wine.
This morning I woke up rather well rested (for a change) and despite spilling most of my skim milk extra shot latte in the car (damn you retro Benz without cup-holders), arrived at work in a tolerable mood for a Monday.
What really put me in a good mood was the blueberry bagel spread with Nutella that I had for lunch. I would have taken that bagel to bed and shown it a good time if I could have. It was everything a food should be, sweet and savoury, crunchy and smooth and the perfect temperature. Heaven in a bagel. Bliss.
Knock-off time came around more quickly than is usual for a Monday, and I arrived home to find 3 items of mail waiting for me.
A bank statement, which is nothing to get excited about, but still something to open nonetheless. What put me in a delighted mood though was a card and a parcel from one of my favourite people on the other side of the world.
The fact is, in today’s digital age it takes very little effort to send an email, or to send a quick shout out on Facebook.
But to receive an actual piece in the mail, that someone has taken the time to buy a card, write on it, address it and get to the post office, that is something very special indeed.
So readers, because of a letter you were saved another rant about life’s disappointments. I hope you are pleased.
