So, Saturday was one of those days, when nothing I did was making me feel 100% - it was in layman's terms a dull, blank, in fact a nothing day. We all have those days.
Then I heard the sounds of the Tuis & Kererūs chortling and singing in the distance, and included in that choir was the beautiful sweet sound of the swallows chirping away in front of me. Suddenly some very cheeky fantails wanted to play.
I then turned to see such beauty on what should've been a beautiful day.
How could I not smile and be grateful for that one moment on this planet - it was pure unadulterated bliss💞💞
