Chrissy & Holly
A few weeks ago I was feeling a bit sad and in need of a bit of TLC, so I walked to a local river. In the distance, to my surprise I saw a seal, his beautiful face bobbing in the water. For some reason I then decided to shout out at the top of my voice, "Beautiful Boy!!!! Beautiful Boy!!!!." I shouted it with as much affection and care in my voice as I could. To my surprise and utter amazement, instead of swimming away the seal dipped up and down there times and came to the waters edge to see me!!! I was over the moon!!!! Absolutely very happy indeed!!!

So here we were, the seal looking up at me and Holly and us looking down spellbound at this fantastical moment of beauty and goodness. He rose up and I saw his magnificent chest all spotted brown, gray and white. His eyes were the most gorgeous huge liquid brown eyes I have ever seen in my life and they were happy to see us. He was radiant, his eyes shining bright and sparkling as if he was sending us love. He WAS sending us love!!!!! :-). He was in his element at one with nature and it showed. I have never seen such a happy, content and peaceful creature.

I said to him excitedly, "thank you sooo much for coming to say hello. You are the most beautiful boy I have ever seen in my life!!!" The words were tumbling off my tongue, singing and dancing their way to his ears. He knew I was delighted to be in his presence. He knew he was very special and I was so happy to see him. He looked soo wise.

The seal opened his mouth and talked back his whiskers twitching and mouth open. All the while I kept telling him how special and beautiful he was. He was indeed enjoying the compliments and the affection in my voice!!

Holly didn't say a word which is unlike her. She was quiet as a church mouse and just watched this magnificent creature rise up from the water and share a special time with us.

Then he dipped down and disappeared into the depths below.

I walked up the road ecstatic. I was sooo excitable, almost like a child who had discovered that Santa Claus does actually exist :-).

It was a tremendous gift that meeting. Little did I know that day that I would be sent love by a wild sea creature who would swim to us, fresh from the depths of the water just to say hello!!!

So I just want to say, LOOK for the little moments of pleasure and happiness. Hold onto them for dear life as they will gladden your heart and nurture your soul. We all need that element of surprise, the times when even just for a little while we are happy and we forget our troubles.

Please feel free in this thread, to tell us of any unexpected moments in your lives that have made you smile from ear to ear. Sometimes in the face of adversity, all we have is those moments, they sustain us and for those times they bring some beauty or light or laughter in. And such moments will strengthen your immunity too! :-)

Love Chrissie, Holly and Ossian the seal Xxx
