However Small You May Feel ...

First of all , my dear friend Sherry , nominated me for this award yesterday !!
It was such an honour to receive this , and it`s made even more special , coming to me from her . Yet again , she`s thinking of others , when she was not having a good day herself , a low blue day . I hope your blues have lifted today ! (( Muah ))


And i would like to pass this award to RHONDA ! A new friend of mine , who keeps me laughing . You deserve it !! :o)

I had to go out today , although i did not feel like it . The wind is terrible here , so much so , i now have bad ear ache just subsiding , and it took me twice as long to get home battling the head on wind !

I did however buy a few things along my way around the town . A new magazine , a few library books , and yet more books , old children`s ones . Do i need anymore books ! ?

I bought Thumbelina , ...... remember her anyone ??
The tiniest little girl , half the size of your thumb , and she was " given " to a lady who wanted a child so badly . Her bed was a walnut shell with rose petals for her mattress .
Inside was a poem , i read it , and thought , what if i were that small ? What would i see ? What could i do just for a day , if i were her ?

If you were Thumbelina .

If you were Thumbelina -

Just think of all you`d see ....

The rainbow in a dew-drop ,

The soft fur on a bee .

The sparkle of a spiders web

Hung with beads of rain .

The warm smile of a buttercup

When the sun comes out again .

Whiskers on a centipede !

A leaf which rustles by ..

The soft shine on a daisy

Looking upwards to the sky .

But - a crumb would be your breakfast -

The same for lunch and tea !

And an apple pip for supper -

Or a grain of corn maybe .

And then , a mouse , a frog or bird

Might come and tread on you !

So - think of Thumbelina

And all that YOU can do !

I have not seen this poem before , but have fragments of memories , of stories of her as a child .

To me , it does not matter how " small " you may feel . There will be days when you are not noticed , and feel invisible to others . Sit and ponder what is " wrong " in your life . You are a person in your own right . However " big " the world seems , everyone has their part in it , to look and take notice , to love , to live , be happy and just be themselves , no questions asked .

And now i am off to have some "me " time . So if i`m not on here over the weekend ... Don`t quote me on this one ! Have a wonderful weekend everyone ! x
