2016 was probably the worst year so far, for so many reasons... However, as a result it has also been one of the best. It's made me realise who and what I'm truly grateful for and opened my eyes to the fact that I am so unbelievably lucky! Yes, some days that's easier said than others but it's still the truth. In all honesty, some days it has been difficult to put one foot in front of the other (physically and metaphorically), but the kindness of others kept me going. From the friends and family who came to visit me/us when I was pretty rough post-op and couldn't even sit up to speak to them, but didn't mind and were truly wonderful people for all sorts of reasons, to the most incredible school placement at my dream school with the most wonderful staff and kids, to the stranger who asked me how I was doing as he opened a door for me. All of these people, for all different reasons, made some days bearable if not the most magical. If you do one thing in 2017, be someone's reason to take that step forward and do what you can to make them smile. It can be anything from a handmade card, to holding a door open for someone, to a cuddle at the right moment. You truly never know what's going on in anyone's life. Don't create resolutions you know you won't keep, do this instead. Wishing you all a wonderful new year and someone to be there in the less wonderful bits... Stay safe and stay well. ❤#besomeoneskindnesstoday #2017
