A happy positive thread 😃

What a nice thread. We had Thanksgiving this weekend; all the local family came around for dinner. We had 9 around the table, and were chatting about where we were going to put the high chair next year for the newest that is expected!

That was Sunday evening, then Monday I had a nice long chat with daughter down south. They had a nice Thanksgiving dinner with friends that also don't have extended families near them, so I didn't feel too bad about missing them. Happiness all round.

Today is my birthday. Yesterday I convinced myself no one would remember - how wrong I was. Cards dropped through my door, birthday cake, 2 bouquets of flowers lots of chocolates and phone calls +++ The best present? a birthday card 'signed' by my 18 month old grand daughter. I feel loved.

It's been a good day after all.

Absolutely FANNNNNNNTASTIC..
Everyones post... every mortal thing.....
Im a big believer in appreciating every little thing... doesnt matter what the heck it is as long as we keep that positivity and little gleam of happiness lit.... 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊

Ohhhhh happy happy birthday boheminan 🎈🎈 🎈🎈

I spent the afternoon making crab apple jelly with fruit from the tree in our garden. It set beautifully and is a lovely colour. Just in time, as we have almost finished the last jar from last year's harvest.

I meant to say I really enjoyed making the jelly. I find making preserves very satisfying.

I had my fifth Covid vaccination yesterday but have suffered no side effects at all whereas I had increasingly unpleasant ones after the other four. An odd thing to post, you might say, but I can't believe this one has been trouble free! It's as if my body is saying, "Ah, we know what this is - we've met before!!"

Sitting in the garden, watching the sea on a beautiful day . I felt blissfully happy, calm and relaxed.

Lovely thread.

Today is our wedding anniversary and DS2 came round with a lovely card. The other 4 have sent lovely messages.

I got up at eight and fed the cat then went back to bed to read the paper on line. Courier delivered a lovely velvet skirt around coffee time so that's my wear on Christmas Day sorted. Salmon with vegetables and chips for lunch; coffee and walnut cake and a cuppa at three, then toasted sandwich around six. In between, watched an easy to follow Korean mystery on Netflix interspersed with messages from Offspring and friends. Watered the garden, decided what to have for lunch tomorrow and am now enjoying Gransnet. A dull day by other people's standards but I'm ancient, living on borrowed time, and so enjoyed every minute of it.

After a very wet weekend it has been a lovely warm and breezy day today and I've got all the washing done and dry. I would normally have done it on Friday, but there didn't seem much point when it was pouring! Washing is my favourite form of housework, so very pleased.

Happy birthday, boheminan!

Congratulations to you and your DH, kittylester!

The world does seem in a terrible state at the moment with one thing and another there is no doubt. We can only hope some thing turns the horror around and things improve.

In our space on this world we do all have our own personal worries and we deal with them how we can. My world has been upside down because our daughter has been very unwell for about two years now. She has been on the mend for a few months I have been so desperately worried about her it’s affected my health.

I have been praying for her health to improve literally every day. She has been on the mend for a little while now we recently visited her and could see the improvements. When we returned home I cried with relief and was overwhelmed how it lifted my spirits.

Had our last day in Oslo today with our son, he said he would miss us when we go tomorrow.
I was really touched he’s fiercely independent having lived abroad since the age of 18 and not very sentimental!

Nice idea for a thread😃

I had the day off today, doesn’t happen often, no work and no child care to do, yippee.

A bit of housework, out to the shops and bought myself a big eclair to have with coffee

I am eating a magnum with the dog curled up next to me.

Redhead56, wishing all the very best for you, your lovely daughter and all of your family x

I had a walk in beautiful sunshine in the woods with my daughter, my granddaughter and and our three lovely dogs, utter bliss.

Thank you for the good wishes it does help.

Today was a good day at work. A little boy said to me’ I’m so glad you’re here today’ made me feel Very loved. I do love my job but it can be so very tiring and hectic! Lovely day!

I have just finished a little quilt for a Christmas present. I’m very pleased with the result.

Had lunch with my daughter-in-law’s mother. She picked up sandwiches and we had a good old natter. She has invited me to bring in the NY with her and her husband . That was very kind of her x

I received two lovely messages from people who were at a talk my son gave last night, about an old nonconformist graveyard he and a friend discovered and renovated. Subsequently it was adopted by English Heritage and the local council. So kind of those people to message me just because they know he's my son. It really made my day.

Brilliant 😃
