The teeny tiny things

Sitting on the sofa, watching a film with my boyfriend, snuggled together. I ask him something. He doesn't answer. I ask again. No answer. I look at him. He's asleep with his head resting on my shoulder.
Coming home from work to get a big hug. No matter how stressful my day or how bad my mood after work, this just brightens my day up so much.
Driving on the motorway, sunglasses on, windows open and Metallica blaring from the speakers. F*ck yeah. :cool:
My little nephew and godson. He's nearly 5 weeks old now (time's only flying!) and I love him so much. Everyone else can be the bad guy. I'm going to be the one who spoils him absolutely rotten!
That first cigarette in the morning. With a good cup of coffee and a bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes and a glass of orange juice. Simple, but so, so good!

5-days ago I met this lovely elderly couple from the UK. I was informed that his wife has breathing difficulties and is some-days bed-bound so needed as many UK TV channels possible for duration of vacation to help her feel like she is at home with her daily tv schedule of programmes and my General Manager assisted me with that.
Lastnight I just checked the lovely couple in online with Ryanair and printed their boarding passes for them.
That was all that I can think of with this couple. Both were familiar with area so no touristy info ever requested.
Today before I finished work he came back from town with the Beautiful Bouquet of Pink Galdioli aka 'Sword Lily' as a Thank You.
Seriously, the above is all bar the usual friendliness and his eyes were watering as he thought I would not see him again before he left us and he made sure he expressed his Thanks to Me.
Teeny Tiny Things it sure is
Lastyear I was volunteering for an organisation that showed me nothing but negativity; even over-hearing conversations, it was never positive, they could not find nice things to see or say about people they ('work colleagues') encountered. They sapped the soul of the Enjoyment of my Life. I'd almost lost all faith in hunanity due to them. I cannot bare people being so negative and horrible individuals but the people I meet daily nowadays, particularly in my day-to-day work are just pure Inspiring, Beautiful, In-Touch-With-Reality, Gentle Souls and they have helped me return to the positive person I've always been.
I really like the Teeny Tiny Things,

I visited my parents last night before they headed off on holidays - they were still in the midst of packing so I was leaving them to it and getting a bus around 9pm (normally one of them would insist on driving me home). My mother asked my dad to walk me to the bus stop so I wouldn't have to walk by myself in the dark - I am 35 years old Thought that was the funniest and sweetest thing. 0 -

Lastnight was the first night in Months that I managed to sleep without needing pain-killers for my injured back. I've an appointment with a NeuroSurgeon in less than 2weeks so hoping we can find a solution to my injured lumbar region.
A lovely steaming hot bath with bath-salts and bubbles lastnight and I seriously had the nicest nights' sleep in ages. Just felt wonderful waking up this morning Fresh as a Daisy
Have not been able to cycle, swim, mountain-climb, hill-walk or even run in months as I could not stretch my body, barely even able to walk. Every chance I've had I've rested & rested in the hope that fracture would get necessary chance to heal,
but tomorrow I feel I might just be able walk One Mile and see how I get on as I really miss the outdoors!
Yes it really is the teeny tiny lickle things

I hope everything works out really well for you. Keep believing. I'm always optimistic that good things are just around the corner (in some form). You got through the past few months which are the hardest so don't give up now. Hopefully the neurosurgeon will have a clear plan to help you, and in the meantime concentrate on YOU: cups of hot chocolate/glass of wine, good music, salt baths...whatever it is that makes you happy. GOOD LUCK.0 -

These are some very kind words from you, very kind. Thank You
I met the Neurogurgeon today and what a lovely man. With the pain, tingling, pins n needles etc I was soo nervous as to what he would say upon looking at my scans. He reassured me no end; had one lovely mannerism about him; genuinely lovely Doctor!
I received Good Newsies today from him - yey Not great newsies, but good newsies and we have progress and a plan for solution.
It's like a weight lifted off my shoulders today. I was thinking all along how I would sell off all my sporting gear for walking, cycling, swimming, hiking & mountain-climbing as I just did not know how this solution could be found. He devised a plan and I trust him. My own Doctor too for his unreal assistance with this, wonderful people are Doctors!
The Teeny Tiny Things like reassuring someone; renewing a sense of hope and belief and devising a plan is something real special. If you ever find yourself in a position to do any of the above, I would suggest you do so without hesitation.
Thanks,

You're very welcome. When I read these threads from time to time you often have kind words and encouragement to offer people that I wouldn't have thought of writing. So it's only right that the boards does likewise for you.These are some very kind words from you, very kind. Thank You
I'm glad that the consult went well and that you didn't sell the sports gear. At the very least they hold a lot of nostalgia for you, like a scrapbook of happy memories. They represent a spirit of adventure. I've never even attempted proper mountain climbing and my bike is starting to gather dust! So hold on to that dream, hold it close and don't let it go. Before you know it you might be climbing as high as the clouds and swimming deep in the sea.I met the Neurogurgeon today and what a lovely man.

Keep as close to your hobbies as you can. Maybe you and your friends could get a boat some time, sail off coast and then do some fishing? Admittedly the weather is starting to get cold again but even in the spring that could be quite nice. I'm really thinking of a little island not far from where I live. No one lives there and there's a golden sandy beach. If my future has a boat and a Mrs. Marciano it's somewhere I'll bring her. Maybe there would be something similar near home for you?
I can think of many nice things that people did for me, some complete strangers. Before I started medical school I was having doubts "maybe I won't be good enough and should stop trying?" etc. As you can imagine there are several stages of application and I was about halfway through at this point. A stranger on a message forum told me 'If you really want this, go for it! What have you got to lose?'. He was right. I thanked him, finished off my application and the rest is history.The Teeny Tiny Things like reassuring someone; renewing a sense of hope and belief and devising a plan is something real special.

Several years later I am now finished medical school. I don't know how things would have turned out if I didn't get those few kind words at a time when I really just needed some encouragement. It's unlikely I'll ever meet that stranger to thank him in person, and sadly if we do meet we won't know each other. But in the spirit of what he did I'll pay it forward instead. If we all do (even really small) good deeds for others with nothing expected in return and they do the same for others, before you know it, things have snowballed into something much bigger and better than the sum of the parts.
As one of my friends points out 'it's nice to be nice'.0 -

My housemate works very hard. He goes into the office most Sundays to catch up on emails and things while it is quiet. Yesterday I decided to walk with him to the office for a walk; I had intended to go food shopping anyway and it is nice to have company on the walk. Before we left he was looking for his ear phones everywhere. he listens to music while he works. He searched his room, all over the downstairs, all of his coat pockets, his bag, everywhere. No earphones. Normally he would get really annoyed by this but yesterday he just shrugged his shoulders and hoped they would turn up somewhere.
We went out the front door of the house, I pulled the front door behind me and lo and behold; there are his earphones hanging on the outside door knob He must have dropped them there on the way in the previous night when unlocking the door but he is lucky there were still there at almost 4pm the next day! 0 -
Walking home with some shopping after a really tough day in college, the handles of my bag snapped and my shopping fell out all over the foot path. Most people just walked by, looking at me sympathetically, but one woman came over and gave me a trick or treat bag that she had just bought for her kid to put my shopping in.
Really made my day. 0 -
When you sit down at the end of a hard day and just let everything else melt away for a few brief moments. Bliss.
Coming home from work last week and my boyfriend surprising me with a crate of Dr. Pepper. My favourite drink ever! He just did it for no reason, just to get a big smile from me! Worked too.
Volvic Juiced, Cloudy Lemon. It is the sex. Seriously. Try it.
Being "good" all week in terms of food, eating healthy. Then letting go on Sunday night and getting the biggest, most unhealthy, most cheese and meat laden pizza off the menu to watch "Love/Hate" by. 0 -

Being able to walk for 30mins today for the first time in months, before the tingling and pins n needles arrived due to my lumbar injury. Walking in the rain today was just so refreshing and relaxing!

Being able to cry while around someone, and being held whilst crying too, something I never get/very very rarely but it can really really make you feel better
Messing about and playing!

Just realising that this will be the first Christmas with my boyfriend this year! I'm a big kid at heart and I love Christmas. But this one will be extra special for me.
It's also going to be my baby nephew's first Christmas too! Can't wait for the times when he's old enough to get properly excited and giddy about it!
I started my Christmas shopping today! Sick, I know. But I intend to be finished before December starts and to be chilled on the run up to the big day. Happy with how it's been progressing so far!
I just got word that I'm going to get a very nice Christmas bonus this year! Get in! 0 -
