Here’s mine for December 15th 2013
\n22:57<\/p>\n

I just called by Alexa\u2019a blog and realised the date\u2026Time for Simply a Moment.<\/p>\n

I am already sitting quietly at my computer, husband\u2019s snores drifting along the quiet almost in time with my typing.
\nI can hear Pepsi walking about downstairs; I think she must have heard Ben coming home.
\nYes, he is here, with his smiling face \u201cHow\u2019s you mum? Still talking to the world? How\u2019s your day been?\u201d
\nWe have a natter and I tell him that I have finally finished all my Christmas crafting. The last four cards are here on my desk. They get a nod of approval and he notices that I have stitched them; I\u2019m impressed!
\nSo I am taking a moment now to reflect on my day.
\nI was unwell this morning and had to return to bed for a while but as I was fretting about getting my parcels ready for the post tomorrow I got up again and slowly, slowly, and with plenty of tea I finished my tasks. Although they were happy and festive tasks when I don’t feel 100% everything feels like a task to me.
\nWhile I listened to Christmas carols on my iTunes I fought with my sewing machine. I played with jewellery wire, tools and beads. I ran out of cellotape and got in a big muddle with \u2018peel offs\u2019 but it’s done.
\nMy pretty cloth bag that Ben bought me ages ago is stuffed full of parcels and a few cards ready for the post office in the morning.
\nJust some more cards to write and send then I can think about cleaning the house, scrambling in the loft for the decorations and going to buy the Christmas tree. I saw a lovely one the other day while I was stuck in a traffic jam\u2026.
\nTime to turn in: happy with my days achievements, feeling festive and feeling blessed. <\/p>\n

And this evening, 16th December I am feeling better, all cards are written and in the post. I am about to go to my last craft evening before Christmas.<\/p>\n

Thank you Alexa.<\/p>\n

This made everyone smile in Porlock, Somerset last weekend.<\/p>\n
