Moments of Smiling

Assembling a bookcase, a DVD rack, a small table and a chest of drawers, Putting them up, putting items in/on them....and NOT have them fall down

A six foot tall security guard whistling along to a One Direction song.

~*~

Being told by a customer that I'm beautiful.

~*~

Being chatted up by a six year old heart breaker

~*~

Eating tapas with a mad scientist who uses every word his vocabulary has to offer , words like tolerable, dwell and persevere.

~*~

Owning a pair of shoes that can only be described as magical. A pair of sparkly, peep toed, chunky heeled beauties.

~*~

Listening to songs and understanding exactly what they mean for the first time in years. (I know this is a little sad but it really makes you appreciate songs when you hear the lyrics and think 'I know exactly what you mean.')

~*~

Saying the word 'Spankadoodle' before hitting V on the bum with a meter ruler. She loved it.

~*~

Skittles, buttered toast, ice cream soda, new slippers, Adam and Joe's pod cast, channel 4's 'seven dwarves', Barry M nail varnish, my new plum coloured trench coat. Lots of things that make me smile. There's a light. It's not very bright, it's more or a candle than a florescent tube but it's a light all the same.

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

So make the best of this test, and don't ask why

It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind

Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial

For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.

I hope you had the time of your life.
