A post for all you milk lovers out there….unfortunately not. Although milk is a highly nutritious, versatile and immensely delicious soft drink, I do rather like the quote.

This blog post is about my Mum, who although I rarely agree with and barely get on with some times, has once again proved that she is an amazing person. I have been feeling really down recently, I have had a lot on my plate with one thing and another and have felt more and more isolated from my friends - not because I don’t think they can help or that they care but because I didn’t want to burden them with a lot of my crap - and so have become more and more insular and isolated. My mum phoned me this morning just to say hi and that she had sent some post over to Leeds for me. This doesn’t sound like much but as I was feeling really low when I woke up this morning after about three hours sleep and this little phone call really made my day!

It is the little things that make your life worth living. The phone calls just to say “hi”, the pat on the back when a person deserves it, and sometimes even if they don’t! My thought for the day then….ring someone you care about and just say “hi”. It will make their day.
