Celebrate The Small Things #1 Sept

I'm posting a day late as I was unfortunately hit by a terrible migraine yesterday and felt so sick all day I was just lying down in a darkened room - however today that is all a distant memory so another thing to celebrate!

If you'd like to join in with this very friendly little blog hop then please click on the picture above to get taken to the administrator of the hop - the wonderful Lexa Cain :)  She also hosts a super Giveaway Friday with lots of goodies so her site is definitely one worth checking out!

Well this week I am definitely celebrating the return of my very special, little black cat :)  She has kept close to home since being allowed out in short bursts over the past two days.  So I am hoping whatever ordeal she went through that made her leave home is now in the distant past and things will return to normal for her here.

I would also like to celebrate all the kind hearted strangers who over these past weeks have taken time out of their busy schedules to drop in with any news, cheer me up, tell me they are joining in with the search and just generally be really supportive and sympathetic.  It is also another reminder to me that you should NEVER judge a book by its cover as some of the individuals I have conversed with are people I would not have thought by their appearance would be at all interested in helping me.  Mostly the older teens - early twenties who to my older eyes now appear rather frightening looking have said some of the kindest and most heart-warming words to me - thank you so much.  Maybe I should be celebrating this new generation and their kindness to us the middle generation?

I would also like to celebrate getting back to the blogosphere and catching up with old friends out there - if I haven't done so already I am on my way this weekend :)

I am sure other things have happened this week that I could have celebrated but I think I will leave it there so I can do a bit more blog hopping.  Hoping everyone has a super weekend and looking forward to catching up :)

  1. Hurrah, it really is delightful when you find that the younger generation aren't all stereotypes and scary. Yesterday, I was trying to find the flute repairer who is 2miles from the station over a very convoluted route and was totally lost. I nervously asked a 18year old looking guy with some others if I was going the right way and he turned out to be lovely and kind and even offered to give me a lift in his car there as it was quite a long way. Restored my faith too!x

    1. Yes - sounds like another reason NOT to trust all the bad news about how the youth of today are so bad compared to earlier generations!

  3. Our grandfather was giving out about the younger generation back in the 70s cos he saw someone with long hair - they really get some bad press.
    Glad the migraine cleared. Have a great weekend - the sun is shining here! Woohoo!!

  4. Sorry to hear about your migrane! But yay to the cat coming back! I've had the chance to meet several teens in the neighborhood...some of which have a bad rep, but more due to their family than they themselves. They are so kind and helpful. Nope, never judge a book by its cover (or gossip) ;)

    1. Yes - you're right with make up your own mind rather than listen to what others say about a person!

  5. Welcome back and I'm glad to heard your kitty has returned. It's also upsetting and stressful when things are happening with our pets.

    Hope you're feeling better now as well, migraines are no fun at all!
