I read somewhere recently that it is unlikely that we, as individual human beings, are each going to be able to do exceptional good in the world. It suggested that we could each do a lot of ordinary good and that could make an exceptional difference in the world. This idea appealed to me a lot.
After a series of major life altering and life threatening events in my life I find myself in a vastly different place to the one I was anticipating 6 years ago. One of the many ways that have helped me adapt to my new circumstances is to look for the ordinary and good things around me and to really enjoy those. I also love exceptional and extra special people, events and occasions but my focus in this blog will be on the more humble, day by day, good things that are meaningful to me.
Gandhi said “Be the change you want to see in the world”. I figure if we all do our little bit to make the world a more pleasant and positive place then that is a pretty good place to begin.

A simple concept that could change everything; not only do I identify with it, I embrace it. Thanks for this.
