Looking forward to the next few months?

I have a couple of shows booked and a holiday

A couple of breaks now booked and a big birthday for DH. DS just invited us for lunch next month. It is the small things now but a big sun will help.

Although I have the Orient Express and Greece lined up this year, a small particular pleasure for me is hopping on a coach round the corner for long day trips. I take sandwiches and a flask of coffee and visit lots of British places to tick off my list.
All for £17 and no driving.
Good books to read and meals out.

I started a Gratitude Diary last year and every day write three things I am grateful for or have enjoyed, even if fed up.

Lucca, I send a ((hug)) 💐

Wonderful thread.
First gc due. And a feeling more will arrive in the next couple of years too. Sadly one of my dogs is getting very frail and watching what is going to become inevitable is hard. But generally feeling very happy and positive.

What a lovely thread. Made me think about all the positive things! A games night with friends in Feb. A weekend in the Lakes in April - present from my son. Two European holidays - one a special one island hopping in Greece. And the best of all - a new Grandson in June. DH not been well and had a health scare so it’s so good to look to the future!

Very soon I'll be a pensioner,yipeeeeeee.I plan to use my bus pass to collect GS so he has a long ride.It will be great not driving especially as I've done a lot of driving jobs over the years. Aren't the roads crazy nowadays,it's frightening. Kadinsky and Bluebell,I do understand how life can turn from feeling busy to nothing,full on to nothing. I go to the cinema on a week day afternoon,or get a cuppa at a garden centre after a walk around,love to smell and tough the plants. My Dad always said to us "don't be idling your time away" so I'm thinking what will keep me busy tomorrow .

Great thread.

Lucca,

I am really enjoying feeling better that I did 6 months ago and we hoe to go to our favoutire hotel before lighu4.

I am really looking forward to getting our new kitchen put in - when we've worked out the design!!

Lucca, hope the approaching Spring weather means you will soon be feeling the sun on your face

Kandinski, Fanny and Lucca lessons on living in the now and counting small blessings.

I'm really looking forward to my new voluntary job. I started last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. Came home buzzing.
We're off to see the Northern Lights in March and Italian lakes in the autumn. . In between those outings I'm happy to have apparently boring days. There is joy to be found in the mundane.

Looking forward to theatre trips - to see Peter Kay, Miriam Margoles, Judy Collins, Dawn French and a production of Blood Brothers.

Yes looking forward to:

better weather
a couple of theatre trips
socialising with family and friends
Getting back to doing Tai Chi again
enjoying our lovely country side and hopefully a day by the sea
Anything else of interest that comes up - always keen to try new activities.

Yes, I’ve a few things I’m looking forward to in the coming months:

A holiday booked just after Christmas

My DB and SiL coming to visit for a family gathering

A new occasional chair ordered today, coming in June (I know, a long lead time, but the one we have will last us til then, I can wait)

💐 Lucca
💐 Kandinsky

Enjoy your time with your DS Lucca!💐

Lucca I’m with you on boring.
If you’d told me last year that MrC would would be with me, I would have been very sceptical.
Enjoy the little things is my motto.

I hope that your son spoils you rotten Lucca!

for you Lucca x

I am looking forward to a large family gathering in March.
It has been so long that we have ALL managed to get together.

Kandinsky and anyone else who has mentioned “boring”… I really don’t want to be a downer or or embarrass you, but I have terminal cancer and am getting weaker and I’d settle for boring specially as now I’m struggling to go out/ walk etc.
I have had to cancel a longed for trip to Italy plus a show here.
Please have a think about how you can change your mood/attitude! Boring can be great ! My “looking forward “:things are very reduced eg DS coming to stay and look after his Ma for a few days tomorrow 👏😀

Just looking forward to more of the good life I am currently experiencing. This is a constant round of lunches with different groups of friends and family. Sounds pretty mediocre but I love it.

I too am going to see the King and I in March in Birmingham Kate1949

Also, looking forward to Lanzarote in March and Portugal in May. Sicily in September for my 70th!

Going to Resorts World later today to see Florence and the Machine.

MrJ is 72 in March and I have booked tickets for 2 gigs later in the year.

Looking forward to Spring, and being able to get out in the garden more.

I'm quite envious of 'Giselle' and 'Madame Butterfly'. Hope you both enjoy your evenings. I hadn't realised how long it was since we went to the theatre so that's something else to plan and look forward to.

Oh, the spring, everything coming out in the garden and on the fells, longer days and the light, warmer and light clothes recovering health wise for more energy, just a bit will do, so's can see more of family.....

mmmmm some seaside is a must do

Looking forward to DAD'S birthday next weekend. I can't believe she will be 6.
Also warmer weather and spending time in the garden.
Also looking forward to May 6th. I have a bus ticket from Cornwall to London and back to see the coronation parade.

I'm looking forward to going to Portmeirion next month for a few days. I'm looking forward to a couple of lunches with (different) friends next week. I'm looking forward to the warmer weather and hopefully having a refresh of the garden so I can sit out in the sun and snooze away afternoons. We have a couple of other trips booked in Spring/Summer one is especially good as we will be joined by my sister and my best friend at a music (light opera) festival where there will be lots of chatting, eating, drinking and music. I do enjoy threads like this that emphasise positivity. Thank you henetha

So sad to hear that Kandinsky feels that the best is over. Especially as she is only 59 !

I am looking forward to better weather.
Holidays and other activities with friends and family .
Learning and socialising at WI , and craft meetings.
Improving my sketching and painting skills, something I took up just last year. Also starting a pottery class this week.
I am 68 and my life is not perfect. All the usual ups and downs plus a couple of health issues. I try to stay optimistic and interested in life. We’ll be a long time dead so as they say Carpe Diem !
