Kindness
I've been thinking about kindness and how it's good to be reminded to be kind to people.
A few quotes to help me remember!
Don't be yourself - be someone a little nicer. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966 (my favourite!)
Always be a little kinder than necessary. ~James M. Barrie
If we cannot be clever, we can always be kind. ~Alfred Fripp
Because...
Sometimes someone says something really small, and it just fits right into this empty place in your heart. ~From the television show My So-Called Life

Maggie's End
Went to see 'Maggies End' at the Pomegranate Theatre in Chesterfield last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it - lots of funny gags, great background music (Elvis Costello, The Jam and The Clash) and a prompt that some things shouldn't be forgotten about. Here's a review from it's run in London last year.

At the moment there's no plans for it to be taken anywhere else - which is a shame as I know it would go down a storm in places where the effects of Thatcherism won't be forgotten for many generations.

Reasons to be cheerful - Part 2
1. Cat Litter Liner Trays - makes a messy job, bearable.
2. Mexican Restaurants. Having my birthday bash tonight at Santiago's - my new favourite eatery.
3. I live in a fabulous part of the world. It's the safest place I know and the Peak District is just on the doorstep. I had a lovely hour out at Padley Gorge this afternoon taking some photos. I've never been so early in the year before, so the gnarly old trees looked even more so standing there naked without their leaves to make them look younger.
4. Photoshop. I love that I can take an 'ok' photo and turn it into something a little better.
5. I made a new friend online recently, I don't know her very well, but she sent me a message, unprompted, today, which cheered me up.

Reasons to be cheerful ...
We've not managed to get out to do any walking the past couple of weeks for a myriad of reasons.
Anyway, I'm in need of a cheerful list - reasons to be cheerful - I'm sure I can find some if I dig hard enough. Lets see if I can manage 5 eh?
1. Day off tomorrow and a long weekend ahead of me. That has to be good.
2. The sun shone today, in fact it surpassed it's more recent efforts, and that felt good for a while.
3. I managed to galvanise myself enough this afternoon to sort out my portable office - it's been in dire need of
a tidy up and throw out for weeks, and now it's looking so much better.
