[New Addition;xo]

Just a few quick thoughts.Today, my mum brought home a beautiful journal for me. Usually I'm one of those impatient people that writes for writing's sake just for the pleasure of using a new book. But this time I'm going to be patient! I have decided that a good purpose for this new addition to my huge box of half-full notebooks, would be as a travel journal. I've never had one of these before, because I've never really been anywhere exciting enough to write about.But if you have been following my blogs, you will know that I am very eager to travel the world (Read my post 'Jack-In-The-Box'). In fact I hope to stay in Scotland for atleast a fortnight this Summer, so maybe that is when words will first grace my new journal's pages. By next Summer, I would like to be driving, and spend the Summer driving round Europe in a 60s camper van (:Having the constant reminder of a completely blank journal in the back of my mind (such things just aren't heard of to me!) will hopefully spur me on to chase my dreams, even if just to fill my clean pages with scribbles!So I promise myself that until I travel somewhere journal-worthy, my pen will never touch the virginal paper of this book!
Secondly, after reading someone's blog post of things that made them smile, I have become more conscious of the fact that I am smiling, and so I pause to recognise why, which in turn makes me appreciate the little things. It's funny how one person's simple words can change anothers views! I would like to thank my fellow blogger for inspiring me to say thank-you for the things I would otherwise take for granted. So I would like to say a few little things that made me smile today:
-The prospect of an untouched journal!
-My dog sneezing (:
-When there were to many bubbles in my bath
-When my mum bought me a metre stick of bubble-gum (never to old to love sweets!)
-When me and my brother haggled and traded on our Easter chocolate

I would also like to acknowledge the Hillsborough tragedy, which occured 20 years ago today. My heart goes out to all the friends and families, who lost someone that day.
'You'll never walk alone!'
Peace;xo
