My back garden surrounded by mountains listening to bird song. One of the mountains has a large forest too but... The trees are being felled now so... there is the sound of constant machines and not many birds singing ? hmm

Spending quality time with my adult children, my grandchildren and my friends all keep me positive ... looking at past photos and feeling such pride at how my family have turned out, despite many past difficulties. I do count my many blessings on a regular basis.

I look at the webcam over my favourite place in Cornwall and it sets me up for the day.

In my positive place at the moment. My She Shed ?

Couple of comfy wicker arm chairs, music, coffee maker and a few books. I had this built last year and it is such a peaceful positive place.

Thank you KatyKrunch. Maybe my living room with my book is my positive place. smile

Hi Annsixty, hope you can get some time to relax and recover today, sending you these ?x

Kateykrunch Tue 19-Mar-19 10:48:57

Oh Gonegirl!, hope you can find something to give yourself a boost, but in the meantime, here is a little gift ? x

Feeling so down, I know I will just retreat into my book.

If I could just get myself out of this house and into, say, John Lewis Coffee Shop, that would be a positive for me.

Teetime - that's one of our favourite tv shows too. We are currently watching recordings of "Friends" - another one of our favourites smile
annsixty - so sorry to hear that. Here are some flowers for you - sent with my best wishes xx

My only positive place at the moment is the greenhouse.

annsixty Tue 19-Mar-19 09:22:40

I really need help to find one.
I am worn out mentally and physically.

Comfort TV - currently watching old re runs of The Good Life.

Returning mentally to a head massage in a luxury Sri Lankan hotel spa. The spa was on the sand at the ocean edge, with the sounds of the waves at my feet, and a gentle warm breeze ruffling my hair. That was in the days when I was gainfully employed!

I'm off to my positive place today. I'm a volunteer, working on a small farm deep in the woodland near where I live.
Lots of time outdoors in all weathers, pruning fruit trees in the orchards, checking nest boxes, counting reptiles, clearing ponds, working in the forest. Not to mention drinking coffee and eating cake.?

I like to imagine a beautiful woodland with a leafy canopy above and a blue sky . Wild flowers beneath and a hammock.
Winning the lotto would be good too.

Coffee with friends

Lily65 Tue 19-Mar-19 08:40:08

I'm trying to do just that. What works for you please?

For me today it will be less time on social media and a walk.
