Thoughtful Tuesday

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which one has overcome while trying to succeed.

The title of this book scares me reader:

Clicky clicky

Surely that's the LAST thing you'd want them to do?

It’s that time of the week again reader. Let’s not tarry any longer, shall we?

Top of the list this week-Finding a bible verse that seems to be written just for me. I am so grateful for the grace of God. Sometimes it isn’t easy to be Christian, but it is always worth it.

This week I’ve also loved the news story about the ferret found at Edinburgh’s Haymarket train station who they suspect 'took a London train'. They’ve named him Mickey and he’s a cutie.

Speaking of cute things...this picture:

Another thing making my lovelist this week is this Pachelbel Rant by Rob Paravonian


Moments of Pure Enchantment:

The sunny days we’ve been having lately, truly beautiful, new episodes of Midsomer Murders- I especially love Sykes the dog, sending ‘just because’ presents to my five little lovelies (little man & gorgeous girl aka my niece and nephew and my cousins three cute wee bairns)

So reader over to you, what things this week have tickled your heartstrings?

I had a smashing time last night, I mean that quite literally reader, still there’s no point crying over spilt milk (even a whole bottle’s worth). Instead I’m going to focus on the things I love this week:

At the top of my list this week is the continued safety of my friends and their families in Japan.

The adorable little boy I looked after this week while his mum spoke to the wardens about baptism. He brought a book on fish with him and consistently referred to all the different fish species by their Finding Nemo names. His mum and/or dad are probably less pleased.

James Thornton and Charlie Baker winning Comic Relief’s Let’s Dance- Entirely deserved, I was so pleased for them and possibly more so because they didn’t expect to win at all.


Well my dear reader, with all of that said, what’s making you dance and sing this week? I hope that you have an absolutely wonderful rest of your week!

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
