My 16 month old baby boy today at the park, in a massive field, nappy off, running free, barefoot. Then, still nappy off, playing peek-a-boo through his own legs! My chubby little cherub

That's the best bit! We've always called it licking the bowl - finger in and scrape round just to get that last little bit of mix. Mmmmm.

Awwwwww

You may know already...but hummingbirds created the stars....it is well known male hummingbirds are ferocious and carry their fights high up in to the air....in fighting so high they poked holes in the firmament so that light from the moon was let in...creating stars...

- getting a pm from another poster who understood (and made me laugh) about getting my "thin skin" in a twist.
- deciding not to keep a commitment today that would have stressed me out...and again taxed that "thin skin".
- sun is shining
- being sober and having hope again

This made me smile too. I got 2 kittens (sisters) last November, after their jabs and speying they've only just been allowed out in the last month or so... One has already brought in 2 birds and a mouse, the other... she's a bit daft - waiting to pounce on a moth, it flew up under her nose and she did that classic kitty terrified backflip with a yowl! Bless her, missed out on those hunting genes

I also had a great PM from another poster - hope you don't mind me messaging, but... She's given me some super advice and hope

Going to bed saying, "I am really doing this." and Waking up the next day saying "Yep, I am really doing this" Too awesome for words!

That moment this morning before I walked into the office where I paused and "took it all in".

Life is good.
