Self-indulgence or pure gratitude?!

The 'thought for today' I arrived back into the office - albeit briefly (lovely Laila is now trying to make sense of the 'organised' chaos that has appeared since she last sorted out things last week) - was as follows...

Practice Gratitude
The intention and the action of gratitude is the inner symphony of the heart. It opens to sing with thanks for the smallest of things. To hear a bird sing, to see a child laugh, to receive a friend's affection - are all invitations to practise the attitude of gratitude. Gratitude is the kind of loving thanks which touches another's heart in a place where they will allow you to reside for a long time.

'bout sums it up in a nutshell really - much better than my long-winded 'pappiness' could anyway. Less is most definitely more sometimes. I am trying to learn this!

www.thoughtfortoday.org.uk if you're interested.

Andrew and Georgey did a lot of what many of you have done when seeing the calendar and 'The Kitchen Story' for the first time. Smiles all round.

We're hoping that they will be kind once more and send us a copy of the piece so if you have problems listening on the BBC website, it will soon be up on www.thearmleytouristboard.com (like the last piece is).

Thank you!
