Last Friday was the happiest day....

.....I'd had in over 25 years. I was on cloud nine. Then two people decided that they would erode that euphoria so,  I guess, it's little wonder that I think we rarely feel as if we are entitled to enjoy ourselves. Life, it often seems, is an endless round of tasks that remain to be completed, promises that have yet to be kept and deadlines that need meeting. Must we really wait until we have taken care of all of these before we loosen up a little? Whilst it's good to be responsible it's important to remember that duties are a bit like viruses. They have a way of multiplying!

Mind you, I still maintain that if you are given a chance to be happy - take it.
