Sometimes, in the midst of busy times, I enjoy taking a moment to reflect on life’s small pleasures.  Today, they included:

• Watering my first ever crop of tomatoes this morning and watching the fruits form and grow;
• Getting a call from Neil at BT who was able to answer all my questions (at last!) about my recent order and who gave me his number in case I needed to phone again;
• Buying cream roses in my local market at lunch time and popping my head round the door of my lounge every now and again to admire them and enjoy their beauty;
• Finishing an executive assessment report in time to have a cup of tea before my 4pm ‘mastermind’ call;
• Watching Holland play Uruguay in – well, some football thing or other – and observing that yes, perhaps football is a beautiful game – maybe even balletic at times;
• Letting go of the day’s unfinished tasks, knowing that I have more time tomorrow.
