Hi all

I am trying to use positivity to get me through some tough times

Thought it would be a good idea to post one good thing that happened to me

Does not have to be every day

But if something good happens to you ..please post here for those of us that need hope and uplifting

Please make them not too long if possible just so that we are able to quickly jump on here and read something good positive and hopeful

Thank you

DGS3 has said he will be home for a while in April when we weren’t expecting to see him until the summer

Walked through my local churchyard and saw carpets of snowdrops between the graves. And the sun was shining!

I know it's almost spring because the sun is coming into my conservatory!

I found out this week that my operation on 20th December was considered successful and I am now out of pain.

My cat who had been missing for last 5 days turned up .( Didn't tell me what he'd been up too )

Either he has been ratting, or there is is a queenie cat in season.

I was walking up the pedestrian lane between the two houses opposite mine and who do you think I met coming the opposite way?

My Tigger cat! He let me pick him up, carry him across the road and well inside our garden, where I dumped him on the ground and he ran off round the house.

I had just opened the door to go inside, when he swooped past me, saying Blimey it's wet outside, ( in cat talk) and has stayed in all afternoon.

Happy to have a warm home and food in the kitchen. How blessed I feel.

After an 18 month wait I have an appointment to see a consultant about my eye.

I got the results of last week’s smear test - everything is fine - best part though is that it was my final one as I am about to hit 65!

Hasn’t happened quite yet but Spring Is Coming! I hear the happy bird calls already.

Every day there IS something positive that happens to people - good nights sleep, unexpected phone call or text, your cake turns out, your pet loves you so much… things like that.

I never lose hope. Or faith.

My hedge has been cut and my windows cleaned: I've got a view! grin

I was chatting with my granddaughter one day and we were discussing something, which is easier to do when you are younger. She replied “you’re not old grandma” then added, “you’re very good for your age”. She made me smile and always does 🥰

My DH is out playing golf today for the first time since Christmas
We’re both happy…😂

I had a really good piano practise yesterday and an excellent violin practise today.

We’ve finally got a completion date for our move. Moving by the coast.

I saw my first snowdrops today and the celandines have just blossomed in my garden.

I got free roses from the Olio app then just as they were past their best, free tulips from the foodbank where I volunteer as the clients hadn't taken them all. They really brighten up the room!

HiMay Fri 26-Jan-24 13:01:23

An unexpected phone call from the consultant to give me results before I see him next week was very welcome. Really appreciated his time and expertise
