As Big Ben chimed at midnight on 31st December, I made a conscious decision that I wasn't going to vow to get slim this year (although if I wake up in the morning, and I'm a size ten, I'll be over the moon!) or give up drinking (I'll never forgive myself if the Italian economy went into recession because I'd given up the grape juice!). Instead at midnight I decided that in 2019 I'm going to be a better person, I'm going to hand out free smiles to strangers (even if I appear mentally ill!) I'm going thank the Baristas at Pret every morning, and generally try not to be a grumpy old cow!
Today, I turned on Radio 2 to hear the wonderful author Amanda Prowse talking about her latest release "The Girl In The Corner" on the Graham Norton Show. Hearing what she has faced in life so far , and how she just sprinkled love and joy over the airways was inspiring and left me thinking "I want to be like that!" So this year, when faced with a difficult situation, or I want to be grouchy, I'm going to stop and ask "What would Amanda do?" and I know that she would pause, smile and shower the world with fairy dust!
Happy 2019 wormies, in this dreadful time of politics and what-not, lets all try and be nice to each other and share the bookie love.
