This morning the sun was shining and the birds singing as I walked down the hill from my house to the center of the village. Snow glistened and no one else was about.
Usually when vapour trails cross the sky, I wish myself up there leaving for somewhere more interesting, more exciting, and waiting for the seatbelt light to go off. However, today I didn't.
I was on my way to the first Blogging for Happiness Workshop.
It wasn't really my idea. Mo Ferrington suggested that it might be a good idea to see if anyone would like to learn about blogging. "Ok," said I, Scooby Do-style.
But the more I thought about it the better the idea seemed.
So there I was, in the sunshine, walking to something I was looking forward to, something I was fortunate enough to be helped into doing.
I really am very lucky.
