I am thankful...

Here's a little post about something I am thankful for.

I know lockdown is tough on lots of people for various reasons. Whether you are on the frontline, self isolating, cocooning or stuck somewhere that you don't want to be, hopefully you find something to be thankful for. Even if it is the smallest thing like having a biscuit with your morning tea or hearing the birds at dawn.

Here's something I am thankful for.

The other day while browsing instagram, I saw that Reece Witherspoon was live on her insta. When I clicked in I found that she was in conversation with Jenna Bush Hager about books. Wow, what a great conversation to fall in to and with two people I think are great. I've always liked Reece I think she is so sweet and likeable and I am also a fan of Jenna Bush Hager along with her twin sister Barbara - they both seem so characterful.

Well I knew that my twin sister needed to be in on this live insta chat, so I clicked off quickly, sent her a what's app and got right back on.

Amy then joined me and we both had a great time listening to the two ladies, me in Ireland, Amy in Florida and I think Reece in Tennessee and I'm not too sure where Jenna was. Then when it was over, Amy and I had a further conversation about what we had just seen. What a lovely thing to bond over and it sure was something I was thankful for - very unexpected and perhaps would not have happened but for lockdown!

Speaking of books and the Bush twins, one of my favourite books is "American Wife" which is based on the life of former first lady Laura Bush. It's a great story fantastically written by Curtis Sittenfeld. As a Librarian, which Laura Bush was too, I heartily recommend it!
