Getting into a warm bath

There was a moment (as I slid into a warm scented bath) that I felt I was being wrapped into a warm caressing cosy blanket and the water took the weight of my achy legs as they floated in the warmth.

After working through a huge piece of casework

There was a moment today as I was walking home when I thought back over the afternoon’s work and realised that having got a huge piece of casework done the corners of my mouth like they were turned up just that little bit and I felt taller.

When I received an order….

There was a moment at the weekend when I received a multiple order for my handmade crafts when I felt a spreading feeling of warmth inside, a smile forced itself onto my face, when I felt like I grew taller as I sat up tall, my heart rate seemed to quicken and small fairies danced in my tummy and my hands tightened into fists and punched the air!
