Magic moments

My life is so busy right now. It's like it used to be and I love it. So much to aim for.

Had a really moving moment today. Yesterday, I went into Bedlington's answer to Starbucks, Root Bean (it is lush in there) and asked them about having one of their acoustic and tapas nights for charity. I was the manager I spoke to, explained what we were about and about Ellie. She told me a family member (her niece I think) is seriously ill with a very rare kidney disease. I asked if she would like one of our boxes and she said yes. So I took it in today. The paediatric boxes need changing a bit but I took her a box with craft kits and colouring things, the scrap book, a snow globe etc. This woman asked if she could hug me. I didn't realise we could have such an effect on people. I want people in their situation to know there is always someone thinking of them and that we just want to see them smile, if only for a minute or two. I felt amazing and it made my day that I could help in some small way.

In other news, my grade 6 piano is on the 17th. I am actually nearly ready....ish. My pieces are getting there, so gonna do a lot more tomorrow.

I have my induction at Boots on Friday too. Hope it's gonna be ok working there. Should pass quickly with it being Xmas nearly, and at the metro centre.

My anxiety is slowly getting better. It's there but not so much. Hope it continues to get better!
