The sky was a thick, dark grey, and the rain fell steadily, as Pooh and Piglet sat together, unusually silent, both lost in their own thoughts. . "It sometimes feels," said Pooh at last, "like we are so helpless. I want to help people, Piglet. I want them to know that I'm there. But how can I do that? How can I reach them? How can I help them, when sometimes even they don't know that they need to be helped?" . "I know," said Piglet, looking out into the bleakness at something only he could see. "It often feels like that, Pooh. Like we can't be the person to make the difference. And not all of us can. Not all of us will be the people the person in need reaches out to; not all of us have the resources, or the time, or the expertise to be able to help. . "But there is one thing," the little pig continued, "that all of us - no matter what our personal circumstances - that all of us have within our gift to give. . "Kindness. It doesn't matter who we are, what we have, or who it is that we are interacting with. We can, all of us, choose to be kind. You might tell me that kindness, in itself, doesn't feel like it can really make a transformative difference to those who are struggling. But oh, it can. Oh, it really can." . Pooh thought about this for a moment, as the fat drops of rain pit-pattered their way down the window pane. "If it makes such a difference, though, and anyone can do it...then why, Piglet...why do so many people choose not to show kindness?" . Piglet was quiet for a moment. "Yes, Pooh," he said, in a slow, sad voice. "Yes, that really is a very good question indeed." . Outside, the rain kept falling. . www.samaritans.org . . . . . . . #kindness #always

It's just over a week since this little book was released into the wild, and nothing could give me more joy than this photo. As some of you know, in my previous life I was an actor. My friend Tim works at the Globe, and to see an Actual Book that I Actually Wrote on the Actual Stage of the Actual Globe...made me genuinely sob with sheer happiness 😊 . Thank you SO much to every single one of you who has been in touch to say how much you've enjoyed Winning At Life. I completely underestimated how terrifying having real live people read the book that you wrote and tell you what they think would be. A bit like waiting on the results of your GCSE coursework. Times a million. I love like you cannot believe the fact that it has made you laugh and cry and sometimes laugh and cry all at the same time. THANK YOU ALL SO SO MUCH ♥️♥️♥️ . . . . . . . #winningatlife #theglobetheatre #instareads #booksofinstagram #IWROTEABOOK
