My husband was listening to a radio show here in Ireland the other day. Rick O’Shea, on 2FM, ask the listeners to call in to tell the us all the things that made them happy.
A taxi driver called in to say that he absolutely loved working for himself. One of the things he loved about it was that he could decide not to work on a given day and sit at home in the morning, cuddled up in his living room watching a DVD.
Well, my husband and I both work for ourselves, so he decided that we should take time this morning when the kids were gone to school to sit and watch a DVD. The film wasn’t great, but the feeling was like skipping school!!! It was brilliant, and it was a Special Moment for sure.
Sometimes we forget to stop and see the choices and options we have around us. Working for ourselves gives huge freedom. Today we took advantage and it felt great.

I can’t emphasise just how great it is that some silly thing we did on the radio brought a lovely moment to two people like this

Rick,
Your comment on my blog brought a huge smile to my face too!!! My initial reaction was mortification that I was mentioned on your blog page, but that quickly changed to delight.
I’m also thrilled to have been able to help you to realise in some small way that your show really makes a difference.
Happy broadcasting!!!
