On one of the wettest and most miserable days in decades, I heard two amazing speakers - Robyn Moore and Anh Do. They were both very funny and very inspiring.
Robyn talked about the importance of living in the moment, about choosing our attitude and recognising how extraordinary we are.
Anh talked about life being a blessing and about his father's philosophy about time: 'There's now and there's too late.'
Both Robyn and Anh work with people in terrible circumstances. They told us stories that were sad and hopeful and so, so human. They made me cry.
They said things that felt true. They made me thankful. They made me joyful. They made me want to laugh more.
(But they didn't stop me complaining about how cold and wet I was! Must work on that...)
It's a blessing to be able to have time to hear these ideas and to think about them. It's a blessing to talk and chat and laugh with friends. And it's really, really nice to be reminded that the work we do is important and that it does make a difference in the lives of others :)
Laughter and tears... a beautiful day.
