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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Find 3 things to be grateful for every evening before bed, it definitely changes your outlook on life and make you sleep better. Some days you just need to be thankful for your warm house, having food on the table and having hot running water. So many people do not have these essentials. Other days I could find 10 things I am grateful for. Today I am grateful for having my nails and brows done, I am grateful I could afford to buy a new polo neck I fancied I am grateful I had a lovely walk in the sunshine despite my back playing up. It was just too good to miss. Do try it.

I was walking to my DGG school to pick her up this afternoon. I was aware of a lady walking behind me who was pushing a wide pushchair with 2 little ones and 2 more walking either side ( looked like a child minder) I let her pass me as I’m a slow walker, she thanked me and told me how she was admiring my beautiful hair!

The polite very talented Italian tennis player Jannick Sinner beat Novak Djokovic in the semi finals in Melbourne. Fingers crossed for the Final on Sunday 🎾🎾🎾🎾

I took delivery of some fleece lined leggings today. They are furry inside. I love them.
