Infinity Plus One


What do I wish I had an infinite amount of?

Well, the answer to that question is infinite in itself.

I wish I had neverending energy, patience, laptop battery power, time, money, chocolate, writing time, abilities, reading time, shoes, pain threshold, champagne, supplies of Abbey's favourite teddy bear, facial appointments, clothes, ideas, nap time, hours in the day, words, shopping time, space for writing things I wish I had an infinite amount of...

And because I believe in the power of "infinity plus one", there's one other thing I'd like to request.

That is, an infinite amount of wonderful moments.

Life can be tough on us at times, and I for one have struggled a bit this year. Sometimes the unexpected twists and turns of life can take some getting used to.

Pulling me through, though, are the wonderful moments here and there. Sometimes they pass us by, unnoticed. But other times, when our eyes are wide open and we're in the moment, we see them for what they are - pure joy. A smile, a lovely note, a compliment, giving to others, laughter, a fun game... there are an infinite number of things to take happiness in.

There are wonderful moments in every day - we just have to remember to keep our eyes open.

And my wish is to notice each and every one of them. All infinity. Plus one.
