Thats it... a smile πŸ˜ƒ and a cheery good evening everybody

obviously I have no idea what your evening consists of or your lives but to each and everyone, I wish you the best and if anyone is in a 'hard place' at the moment, things will be easier, things will become more bearable, good always comes out of bad..

We alllll need someone sometime.... reach out to someone.... talk.

I dont know why Im posting this post... I just feel compelled to do so.

Hugs to everyone and if you're not a huggy person then I just squeeze your hand and say you can do this.

Excellent GrowingOldDisgrafully ( love your name ) that is just fabulous that allllll went well.... I once heard someone say the thought is worse than the deed and how VERY true it is, I always bare that in mind.

As for the Covid... my taste and smell came back about an hour ago so YEAHHHHHHH..... im happy.

What a lovely thread, thank you so much, and sending hugs right back at you! Only reading this late Monday morning (busy weekend). Hoping you are feeling better and sending that covid packing.
Your positivity must have been coming across unbeknownst, as I had something to do yesterday I was pretty apprehensive about, and it went pretty well, so thank you again.

Thank you for the positive thought! Life has been a bit grim this past week - need some brightness to take away the darkness and sadness that has been around this week. πŸ€—

Serendipity22...thank you...just logged in to the chat forum...was feeling very much in need of a hug....various reasons.....and there it was....the hug...🌈

We're spreading our positiveness around... we feel so much better and happier even if it lasts a brief time.

I love the fact you smiled at people DamaskRose that brings a lovely warmth within, it doesnt matter if only 1 smiled back, the man thing is your smile was welcome to another.

I absolutely love it when the time of day is passed between myself and someone, for all I know, I might be the only person they have spoken to all day, we have a bit if silly banter, a laugh, might last 5 minutes, might last longer, who cares, its brightened our day and thats all that matters.

Dillonsgranma you got your big girls pants on and took action... brilliant x your medication was delivered, absolutely brilliant and well well done to you for taking positive steps.

In fact WELL DONE to everyone for rolling their sleeves up and facing situations face to face...

WE CAN DO IT.... XX

Thank you for your kind words Serendipity22 and keepcalmandcavachon. A hug or a squeeze of the hand, a smile or warm greeting can really lift someone’s spirits if they’re feeling low. Sending hugs to you all. πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—

Thank you for your lovely thread, Serendipity. I, too, am going through challenges and to read your kind and uplifting words is so lovely 😍

This is my first post but I have read, along the way, so many inspiring messages and points of view.

Thanks again.

Your message lifted me from the depths of despair thank you. I had a terrible frightening evening as the chemist forgot to deliver my palliative medication. But I put my big girl pants on and phoned 111. All sorted now as a helper collected emergencies meds from Tesco pharmacy today. Good old 111. Took forever but they dealt with the problem

Thank goodness you got your very necessary meds Dillonsgranma. flowers
And Thankyou so much for this lovely thread Serendipity. While I was out today I decided to smile more and, lo and behold, some people smiled back - not all but some! - some just thought I was mad presumably! πŸ˜‚

Serendipity22. Aw thank you for you kind thoughts. And I too wish all the best for anyone going through hard times. Life can be challenging at times and I try to think that most things pass and normality will be restored. Can't apply to everything, but helps with some situations.
