When I woke up this morning I found a visitor in the garden. I love these little creatures and find them very endearing. I thought hedgehogs were nocturnal but it turns out they do forage during the day and this one was busily munching his way through seeds dropped by the birds. We don’t have many wild mammals in the UK and the ones that remain tend to be small. They’re still beautiful.
Something beautiful has happened since I began blogging.
I wasn’t expecting it and I’ve been surprised, amazed and very touched. The support, thoughts, encouragement and kindness of the blogging community has reached me from all over the world. Connections have been forged that it would be impossible to create in any other way and I’ve received the most amazing gifts. People have written poetry, added heart-warming comments and given award nominations. It’s more than I ever expected from a blog designed to keep a small group of family and friends up to date with my continually evolving life during and after breast cancer treatment.
I want to say thank you, everyone, for all that you do. The support I receive here is amazing and it sees me through the darkest of days… it’s true I’m usually optimistic but like everyone else I have the odd moments of doubt. I now wake up every morning and like discovering the hedgehog in the garden, I find there’s something beautiful awaiting me. A comment, a like, a new follow. So special and so kind.
I have very little to offer you in return except my ramblings and some photos but I want you to know I appreciate your support and am glad we’ve been able to meet each other in this virtual world. Long may we be friends because friendship is something very beautiful 🙂
