A happy positive thread 😃

Hello , happy to have found this thread.
I was given some homemade shortbread for Christmas and I have finally given in to temptation and had a couple -- absolutely delicious. The rest won't last long now !!!!

Went for a lovely walk this afternoon with a friend , came home and started baking a cake for New Year.Life is good .

One of my regular homeless customers at foodbank tells me that he has a home from next week, so he can look for work. He has been sleeping in a tent/ sofa surfing foe three and a half years. His joy was infectious.

Suffering with a bad cold today but I’ve been given 2 photo albums for Christmas so I’ve been sticking in photos of both baby granddaughters. The smiles and joy on their faces washes away the inconvenience of this cold

the joy of Bach before seven is on in the morning on radio 3 and cheers my day always. Right now back very bad and cant do much I want to but as a galathophile and very happy to see snowdrops starting to flower in a pot by my door. It will start the new year off well

A happy, happy day, cold but so lovely.

Went to a Christmas market, lots of people turned out, weather perfect, cold obviously for this time of year but so what !

🎄

A lovely weekend with DGSs (2 & 7) while their Mummy and Daddy were away. They were a credit to their parents and so much fun with lots of cuddles too.

Today a happy visit to my Brother and Sister in law who have had so many problems lately but hopefully things are now starting to look up.

Very positive words.

Don't dwell on a problem... find a solution.

Isnt it just heartwarming to find the good in our day..... like ive said ... something small, something big, makes noooooo matter, it made us smile and feel happy and thats all that matters

😊

Well done, Poppyjo. I have been too unwell to go to church lately and really miss it. I did manage to get to my son and DILs wedding last month in our church, though it was touch and go. Glad I made it. It was a super day and I have memories I'll cherish forever 😊🙏

I overslept this morning and decided I did not have time to go to church. At 09.30 I was puffing away but so happy I made it. To me Sunday is very special

Just thinking there are some wonderful aspects to this time of year. Seems that meeting with friends is really good, having steaming hot bowls of soup, picking a few evergreens from the garden.
Looking out my books about winter.
Cider with Rosie, Lark Rise to Candleford, somehow this time of year I look back to the past then on to the future.

Oooo I am addicted to charity shops... Aladdins cave.

Well on Friday the 🌞 was out allllll day, not a cloud in the sky. I went to a shop ( bought a fabulous Mulberry coloured coat ) and a cafe with a friend then home. That experience made its mark because it was a place which was difficult for me to get to and i was a bit apprehensive about going, but me being me ( determined 💪) i went and it turned out perfect.

😃 😀 😃 😀😃 😀 😃

Had a lovely time walking around our local charity shop that has just opened up. It's big and the thing with charity shops is you never know what you might find. I bought a vintage teapot and came home very happy.

Curtains open ..... almost blinded by 🌞 🌞🌞🌞 🌞

Now if THAT doesn't start the day off with a skip and a jump, I don't know what will.

Enjoy your sunny day everyone 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎

Thanks for the reminder of The Robin book Spuddy. I’d meant to buy that for myself ages ago

I’ve mentioned this Wayfair advert somewhere before but I look at it often because it makes me smile every time.

Good morning everyone! We went into our local Spar yesterday after work. There's a lad who works there ''C'' who always loves us going in, together or singular as we play him up and get him laughing! He's...I don't know, about 25, I'm 58 and hubby is 62.

A few days ago I grabbed a tin of vegan meat balls and hubby said to C ''she does so like getting her hands on some big chunky balls!'' and the lad cried with laughter!

Yesterday he was filling a trolley with food/drink to take back into the staff area. There were cartons of Moo Milkshakes in there so I said to him ''It says on there Moo so here goes...MOOOOO!'' Then I pointed at hubby and said ''well, he calls me and old cow anyway!'' And that was it, C just died laughing!

Ohhhhh have to tell everyone .... I have had THE BEST NIGHT .... I have been to the pantomime, it was an amature dramatic group and it was superb. I even had my photo taken with some of the cast members, i feel happy, happy, happy.

Goodnight everyone. 😃

How lovely for you both Serendipity22!I say cheers to cheerful chatty moments- so uplifting

Well today its cold and miserable outside but I'm far from it, I had a lovely chat with a total stranger. l have been to a shop filled to the brim with Christmas decorations, gift ideas and the aroma of cinnamon, mulled wine and pine , without going from thread to needle, me and this lady got chatting, it was wonderful, 2 passing strangers engaged in a happy conversation.

Made my day 😃

Ohhhhh wow... that sòunds absolutely perfect ginny. I love, love, love Christmas too..... seeing anything to do with Christmas fills me with a warmth of happiness.

Fabulous ....
Have you see the Christmas advert for Amazon? Love it.. to me it says soooo much, Christmases gone by. Christmas 🎄

Since I was a little girl I have loved the snow scene villages that are set up in garden centres. But they have been so expensive. Today DH treated me to a house, some trees and moving scene hog children sleighing and building a snowman. I can add to it as and when. I feel like a six year old !!!

I have been to a fashion show tonight at our local theatre and despite the fact nothing took my eye, the fact that i was there, enjoying the evening with 3 others made it a really happy evening. When its dark, damp evenings all you want to do it close the curtains, turn the fire up and put your warm P.J's on, but tonight i refused to give in and put my lippy on, brushed my hair and joined the fashion show and guess what! I am sooooo glad I did. 😊

Today, I'm reading a gorgeous book: The Robin by Mike Read, Martin King and Jake Allsop. Originally it was £9.99 which is still a good price for it but I got it from Amazon for only £2.79!

It's a beautiful book! m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51uSEE2vxZL._SY466_.jpg

I LOVE Curly Wurly!
