Reasons to be cheerful in lockdown

When I get books delivered to me by the local library - think I would go mad if I didn't have something to read.

Only two things on my list, for today at least.
1) Everything
2) Everybody.

Going back to bed in a bit, will be ok after a good cry. No comments, please. I just needed to say it.

Definitely the daily walk. Now I would really mind not been able to do that but then I would have to walk round and round the garden! Apart from that we have all the comforts of home so it's not too bad, I feel like an indoor cat!

This evening it's a couple of massive vodka and lemonades. I haven't had a drink for weeks.

I feel a lot like you overthehill but my new routine involves a G&T before supper and I am really enjoying the weekly family zoom quizzes, set by each family in turn,
We generally don't do too well but it is so lovely to see all the faces and it keeps us going!

I must admit to quite liking the slower pace of life. I miss the socialising but not as much as I thought I would and luckily there is the phone and the internet and the radio and books and such a lot to do if I want to. Not having to clean the house is another plus!.

I hope you are all cheerful?

I am luckily not one who suffers from depression but before all this when waking I would feel a bit down thinking about mine and hubby's age and what the future holds. By the time I'd showered it was all forgotten thankfully.

This is really strange, but since lockdown I haven't felt like that at all. I have a little plan on what I'm going to do each day and go with it. I used to always need something to look forward to but I have totally accepted I'm going nowhere and it doesn't bother me a bit. What I don't finish today can be done tomorrow.

Having a sweet treat after dinner a few squares of chocolate or slice of cake. Definitely my hours exercise every day lifts my spirits.
