Everywhere there is bad news be it in the world or at home, in families or within our own 4 walls, its worrying, its sad, its heartbreaking and its beyond our understanding so to lift the dark, depressing and worrying feelings we have I have decided to start an uplifting πŸ˜ƒ, happy πŸ˜ƒ, joyful πŸ˜ƒ and POSITIVE πŸ˜ƒ thread......

Toooooo much negativity πŸ˜ͺ everywhere we look and causes anxiety because there is nothing we can do about some situations. We need to let happy, joy and positive feelings circulate around us, hard I know, but for our OWN sanity we must grab the tiniest bit of positivity as it passes us by.

I will start..... today I have been to see a neighbour who is in a care home and we have had a right laugh and a venture down that wonderful, peaceful Memory Lane 😊 and tomorrow I am picking my 2 youngest grandchild up from school and I have bought them a Curly Whirly each πŸ˜‹ πŸ˜‹ πŸ˜‹ πŸ˜‹ πŸ˜‹ πŸ˜‹ πŸ˜‹.

My DD went away for a few days with her OH & their 9 month old.
DD was looking at fish in a stream and turned to say something to OH and he was down on the ground. She wondered what the heck happened, totally puzzled, and then he proposed - I hate to think how many poor animals & wildlife were suddenly scared out of their skins if she screamed with delight! (I haven't seen her yet for a full chat about it).
She wasn't a bit aware of his planning, and he had the ring with him, the right size, too!
She has older DC who stayed at home because of school (they said they were fine with mum & stepdad going away for a few days without them as they'd have school, anyway), and they were very happy to find out mum was now engaged!
DGD asked if she'd have to wear a dress for the wedding? Lol

Today I had a visit and hugs from my youngest daughter and Grandson.3

A friend called with flowers and a card.
Next door neighbour called with chocolates.

I felt quite an improvement of my operation bruising making things more comfortable.

Hope you soon back on your feet after your operation......

After DH locked himself out of his banking apps, while setting up a new tablet and forgetting all his details, I took over.
Two hours later, (after much wailing and gnashing of teeth) I got him back in, despite the fact he he had forgotten 😑 to update his phone number and all recovery codes were going to his old phone, which he no longer has.
I am delighted I haven't lost my skills! πŸ˜‰

Thanks to my local garage who fixed my car for me yesterday in order that I can safely get to my sister's funeral tomorrow.
So, mixed feelings.

My little granddaughter has just been involved in school in a question and answer session with an astronaut live from the International Space Station. Amazing!
My younger self would not have believed this could happen.

I have been to see my friend in a care home today and we have had a right laugh, hilarious... she thanked me for going to see her, I said she didn't have to thank me for a thing, it was fabulous time spent together...

I am now home and making 2 Christmas robin tree decorations for a friend who lost her mum and dad recently.

Enjoy your day everyone..... πŸ˜ƒ πŸ˜€

After a couple of aggressive messages from someone who took offence at a post i made, I have had a lovely upbeat chat with my volunteering 'supervisor'. I needed that.

Going to my craft group this morning... which brings a smile to my face...... smile.

10 ladies sat around a table, enjoying each others company and taking pleasure in their own unique craft... fantastic.

Dropped a bag off at the charity shop, was having a browse and the (stylish) assistant pointed out a mac I'd passed by, assured me it was my colour and fit- it was! Wore it today and felt great.
Hope some else enjoys my donations as much. Its a win win!

Serendipity22 Thu 19-Oct-23 18:19:23
