I Have No Idea

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

I guess my face would light up, but on the other hand I might have to collapse into the nearest seat and be reduced with tea with two sugars. Sorry dentist but this would be an emergency scenario.

I have had lovely things happen that have given me such a lift, but sadly I can’t think of one that worked out to the point it made a particular difference to my life and I can’t imagine how that would be.

What I do know is…

That I would be immensely grateful and that’s a lovely feeling. No good thing can cross my path, however small, without me feeling so grateful for it.

A lovely example. As you may know I take a stab at playing badminton once or twice a week. I’m a very ordinary player, regular practice has improved my game to the point that I occasionally win. Both my partners are natural at racket sports and I’m natural at shopping for the rackets. But…

I have a fan! The gym we play in has a children’s trampolining session on a Tuesday. A dear little girl has started to come and sit quietly on the empty court next to us. Which has improved my aim significantly. I have to ensure the shuttlecock stays in our court now!

She must be about five maybe six years old. She’s very quiet. But she smiles at me and makes my day. Last week she started reaching out and gently tapping fallen shuttles across to me. This week she did the sweetest thing, when I got a good shot in she gave me a round of applause.

This might not sound like much to you, but when a child treats you in that way it’s the greatest honour an adult can receive. To be the object of that level of innocent, pure, connection, is the most wonderful experience.

I will admit I connected to her immediately too, I know her at a soul level. That instant click always means soul group (family). I’ll write about it later.

So I assume…

That as however small the good thing is I always react with great joy and gratitude. it wood be a crazy, off the scales, burst of immense joy and gratitude, followed by that cup of tea and time to get used to the idea.

Plus sending a million heartfelt thanks to the universe, and any human who may have helped.

We can dream any the big things, but never gloss over the small ones. They add up. Every good thing means something and should be respected.
