(Doesn't it look lovely? It was. Ummm.)
As a little treat to lighten up a dull Thursday morning at work. Me and my co-worker at the bookshop Anne, thought we would have some pastry Treats, to get the day started. So this morning, the first time I saw Anne she was holding a bag, with 2 fresh treats that had our name's on them.
Now mine was a lovely chocolate Croissant, Pain Au Chocolat.... Now before devouring this and a lovely cup of tea. I had to settle the bill for this tasty delight. But Anne, said she didn't want any money for it. We then proceeded to discuss this. Me trying to get her to take some money, Anne saying no. Then in Blow to the discussion she turned to me and said ' Why do you find it hard to take the blessing?'
Ouch! many people have asked me this question. Not just blessing's but compliments or positive words spoken over me. People have recognised this in me alot...and I thought I was getting better with accepting this stuff...
Is this a Claire thing, or an English thing. I know that an English trait is to 'apologize profusely even when it is certainly not your fault'. Does this come under the same category. And can I learn the art of being blessed without feeling like I am taking the P***.
I shall be Pondering this issue for the next few days, and I will let you know, how it goes. (I know you can't wait, its riveting stuff.)
you're wonderful
