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

I bought a bunch of daffodils today. I'm going to love watching them open.

More tennis to ml look forward to tomorrow 😀

And my gorgeous daughter and son-in-law are going to see the house they ate buying tomorrow

An unexpected visit from DS, DIL and baby granddaughter. 😍

Just finished a load of packing - a job I hate.

I woke up this morning remembering a significant dream that I had just experienced. What this dream meant to me was that my basic self was friendly and happy despite it lived in the dirty windowless basement of my conscious self.

People gave me donations of fabric and beads for my charity work.

My car passed its MOT yesterday. Nothing to follow up with - no advisories.. it’s 22 years old with 125k + on the clock. Hooray! 🥳 🎉🎈

I've just seen a snowdrop!

Witzend Fri 26-Jan-24 11:43:23

It’s a nice sunny day and I’ve got snowdrops and a years- old pink hyacinth out. It’s in a container right up against the house, so very sheltered.

Today is the sun streaming through the window and lighting up a vase of daffodils.
For tomorrow, dry weather forecast for a wassail event at a local NT we are going to, and my son and girlfriend coming back for tea afterwards.
Trying to focus on positives, to ward off the terror of the start of nasty dental treatment to start next week! 😱😨 Eek!

I washed some sheets last night thinking I would tumble them today, but it’s a fabulous sunny drying day and they are blowing on the line along with some towels. And our snowdrops are poking through, my favourite flower.

This measles outbreak is saddening especially as I had the condition aged four before there was any protection against childhood illnesses.

The OP asked for uplifting posts.

Picklesgranma Fri 26-Jan-24 12:28:12

Saw a bank of snowdrops so spring is coming.

A long call with my elder daughter.

No treatment was given …no painkillers prescribed …just ‘’get on with it , it will take six months st your age”….its taken nearer 14 months ….oh and still waiting for the MSK to get in touch with me !

Just finished my first attempt at jigsaw puzzling. My distraction therapy from overwhelming grief, it did help so I'll start another one.

Ktsmum Fri 26-Jan-24 12:59:31

Just met my neighbours new baby girl, 3 months old, all pink and gorgeous 💓

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

jocork Fri 26-Jan-24 13:14:41

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!

missdeke Fri 26-Jan-24 13:25:30

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

Amandajs66 Fri 26-Jan-24 13:37:26

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

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