After a lie in and a slow start to the day, i finally got my latest work to the gallery where it was received well. Phew! While i was there a lady bought a peice of my jewellery, which was very thoughful of her- thank you.
Prior to this, i had an email from the company i am now contract cleaning for, which said thank you for the hard work i am doing, and an offer to pay me earlier than i had expected. A thank you to my sister who helped me on the horrendous initial clean too.
So a very good start to my day and also to July.
Perhaps my LOA mantra is working? I am trying not to be too sceptical, but hey, if it works then who am i to argue.
I later walked the dogs at the seaside where they both went for a cooling and tiring swim. Again another joyous thing to do. It had just begun to rain which had cleared the park (adjacent to the sea), making it a peaceful and pleasant time. It smelled sooo good. That perfect smell when it rains after a hot dry spell.
All in all a good day which of course will be repeated tomorrow, and everyday thereafter- i wish.

Absolutely true Lois. In my middleageness i too sometimes write and say thank you when a job or service is well done- no matter how big or small the business is who did it well.
There is nothing more rewarding than a 'thank you', as the occasional complaint can ruin a person's day.
Perhaps we should campaign to reintroduce that simple phrase back into common use.
I find myself constantly picking up my husband to say thank you, for example, when offered a cuppa 'No, thank you' is sooooo much nicer than 'no'.
On that note, thank you Lois for reading and commenting on my blog.

How true that a thank you will make all the difference.
I know that i get a great feeling when someone says those two very simple but so powerful words.
Thank you for always being there for me

Long may this positive mood prevail! It's so unusual to get anyone bothering to thank you for a job well done - so doubly pleasing. (Quick to complain though, I've noticed!)
