But I Smile Anyway…

It’s time to show my thanks to God, the world, the universe, my parents, family and friends!

So what if I don’t have space for a walk in wardrobe, and a spare bedroom to separate the kids yet??!!

I have a house I can happily call a home, it might not be spick and span, but it’s ours, and it’s filled with love, happiness and laughter! (And the odd fight between the kids, but hey, that’s normal, right?!)

Who cares if my bank balance is pretty much nil most of the time?

I am lucky enough to have enough. We don’t starve, our bills are paid, our kids lack nothing… And in time, things will get better!

Why should I lament not going on posh holidays all the time?

Everyone wants a break in some sunny, hot country right?! Yeah, sure, but it’s not a necessity. The time will come when we can do that too. But in the meantime, little visits to my parents, the odd day out, a prospective visit to my brother in Finland in the pipeline… That’ll keep me going!

In time things will change, for the better, of that I am sure. But I am so lucky to have all I do. A roof over my head, food on the table, a car to get us from here to there, the prospect of new job, that I love, (which will improve the above bank balance issue!) 

And the biggest things? I have family, friends and love…. These three things I have in abundance! Parents who support me and love me unconditionally, a husband who I love and respect with all my heart, two kids who make my heart smile, and a family full of support in general.

Friends who, near or far are always there. And I am there for them.

And love… Well if you love, you get love back…. And I’m full of love!

Thank you Waheguru, God, for being behind me every step of the way, for not allowing me to feel down, or negative, and for giving me the positive influences that you have, in my life. Those influences have kept me sane, and made me who I am. In fact, yesterday someone actually said to me, my parents have done a great job, raising me to be who I am today…. And they are right, my parents have done EVERYTHING they could for me and my brother, so after God, my thanks go to them. Love you Pops and Mum! 💜

I feel even more positive that usual, at this stage in my life! I wanted to share my positivity with you all!!

Oh, and the icing on my cake??!!

My darling Sonu Singh chose to come and sit on my lap for longtime cuddles this morning! He NEVER sits on my lap, prefering the end of my bed, and following me around when he’s hungry!!!

You see? Everything is just PERFECT!

 Have a wonderful Wednesday Peeps!!!
