I've had about 127 people tell me 'when one door closes, another opens' these past few weeks. They are probably right - tried and tested statements we tell each other are usually right, don't you think?
Plenty of other fish in the sea.
Everything happens for a reason.
You can only do what you can do.
Platitudes are so believable, so comforting.
So, this week I'm grateful for...
215. Platitudes - They are the words we use when we don't know the right words to use. They are the words we use when we care enough to use them.
216. Music - songs have been chasing me all week. 'Last Day on Earth' Kate Miller-Heidke (because I have a tendency towards melodrama); 'Gotta Keep Your Head Up' Andy Grammar (on the radio on Monday morning, unshakeable); 'Cold Hard Bitch' Jet (great song, makes me feel invincible); and, the usual, 'Big Red Car' The Wiggles (it's been chasing me since 2005).
217. Memories- At the end of the end, there are so many good memories of so many good times that I had in my corporate career. Nostalgia has already kicked in, but, don't worry, her friend Regret is no where to be seen.
Come visit me at Kidspot where I've revealed my (riveting) earliest memory. I love childhood memories... share yours in the comments if you're a member (if you're not, join up so we can hang!)
Join our Grateful community by adding your post to the list below (please add a link back to our list here or at Kidspot). Visit some of the other lovely link-ups - it's a beautiful way to spend a little time. Oh, and it would be lovely if everyone visited a few of the 'late arrivals' to the list this week... it's sad to be late and not get any love, don't you think?
