I had no idea how pleased I would be!

I've just had a phone call from my GP surgery asking if I'd like to go to have the vaccination against Covid19! I am feeling so so happy and so so lucky! I hope other gransnetters are also having this fabulous news - or will soon. I realise some people will have different feelings about this, and what you think and want of course may be unlike me. But it has made me think about very different kinds of things to be grateful for - small things, like unexpected sunlight on a cloudy day, hearing inspiring music, seeing spring flowers, a small kindness from a friend , a smile from a stranger, a starlit night sky, a child's laugh.........looking out for small moments of joy can make a huge difference to life. From time to time I keep a gratitude diary - writing in a note book each evaning three things I'm grateful for and why. It does make a difference, even, or perhaps especially, when life feels grey or dull or difficult. I wonder what other Gransnetters find to be grateful for?

Brilliant news. We will have the vaccination when we are offered it. My DH is extremely clinically vulnerable so hopefully it won’t be too long.

I am just home from recieving my first injection of the Covid vaccine! Wonderful! Very well organised at the surgery - apart from a nurse asking me if I was Wendy - which I am not! But they did get my identy right, gave me a virtually painless jab, and after a 15 minute wait sent me on my way. I have a card with the details on, which I bring back for my second jab in January. I am feeling fine! I do hope others will be as lucky as this and soon get their vaccinations too.
