we matter!

Last night's Ceilidh was brilliant. Getting to hold hands with tons of strangers. Seeing the energy levels of my son as he whirled round the room. Hanging out with my friend, eating a lovely veggie pie and home made cakes. Snuggling with my daughter after being apart nearly a week. Live band, twirling skirt, joy, connection - how lucky am I? And just when I didn't think it could get better, someone I didn't know approached me to thank me for something I did a year ago. So, for the times when we doubt that those little things we do make any difference, let me shout it out now, for myself, and for you too. THOSE LITTLE THINGS MATTER! Every time we are kind, every time we listen, every time we choose love over fear, we contribute towards creating a lovelier world. We may not ever get to see the impact, we may think we messed up and could have done it better in hindsight. We may at times wonder why we bother. And those little things may indeed go un-noticed, unappreciated. But it doesn't mean that our attempts don't matter. They matter lots. In ways we may never get to know. So today I hope we can all trust that our little acts of kindness are changing the world :D
