Well today should have been the day I got to see the joy on my girls faces.You know the way they get so full joy , receiving something special, that it literally oozes out of their bodies? Today should have been the day that their 'Club House' was erected in the garden. An early Christmas present.They have great plans for 'The Club House'.In fact I keep finding scraps of paper with plans and rules written in fancy writing. Unfortunately today a 6'x6' 'Club House' arrived not the 8'x8' one we had ordered.It seems that the website was inaccurate and they don't actually do one that size.The smaller one just wouldn't be big enough so it was sent away.I am not looking forward to telling my girls tonight.
In the greater scheme of things I know it's not so bad and I know that there will be a silver lining to this little cloud.There always is.We just have to look for it.Like this little leaf I found the other day.A day where my mood was as wet and grey as the day itself.I looked down and saw it in all it's perfect beauty.The colour, the size,the shape and even the texture just stood out against the grey pavement.I picked it up and popped in my pocket.A little reminder that there is always beauty around us.Always a silver lining.
