We have done that one I think..some days when I wake up, I try to focus on the fact I have a lot to be grateful for, then I see the coming day in a better light..
Of course I’ll also make that cup of coffee ☕️ in a minute, the one which will kick me out of the house 🏡 get me to walk to the shops, and breathe some very fresh air ❄️ on the way!!
Good morning 💞 That’s beautiful, Fran, the picture and especially the words. A very positive start. Just what I needed. Yes, you certainly have the ability to help others. I’m grateful that you’re my friend.
Thanks for this Fran. I am grateful for the wonderful drizzle and cold which let's our plants drink and rest...😂 And I'm grateful for those more positive than me, who lift my spirits on a day like today 😉😍
I think being grateful is so important. I read other posts and I am grateful for not having some of the problems others have. Often I am grateful for the inspiration others give me on this site. " If they can do it so can I".
Happy Fran,you radiate warmth for everyone and lift all our spirits,talking of raising spirits is it to early for a glass of Armagnac or some other warming spirit on a cold day oop north.?
Have a nice walk my happy friend............Flat skis and a downbeat cat
you really are quite versatile with your emoji things,very clever my happy friend,i hope common sense prevails and we keep Conte but as you know football managers are not really appreciated in our premier league,and only short term results matter...Picture free skis x
I reckon two one to Spurs. There's no holding them now they're at Wembley....seems to intimidate other teams too. Arsenal a bit wobbly these days. Even my young grandson's team, Notts Forest, beat them!! Big celebrations! I'll buy you both that Armagnac if I've got it wrong....⚽️⚽️ ⚽️ 😀
Harry Kane saved my bet!! Have a lovely lazy afternoon, you two, feet up with a brandy each!! PSG sure to win, so you might be able to make that a double, Fran 😃🌟 xx xx
I thought that might be a rash offer!! 🙃🤪 thyme tea and honey will keep you well focused on the next match....🧐 Having a coffee myself ☕️, maybe a G&T later tho 😱
We just need Wales to win the rugby now🏉...though again at Twickenham, where England almost always win Six Nations matches. I haven’t a clue how to score in rugby but I watch BBC Wales and everyone is SOOO pleased if we win....plus I’m married to a Welshman 😬😮
We’ve had a very keen viewer this morning so I’ve got my 🤞 for luck there too 🍀💫 Would so like to move on now ⛷⛷ xx
I enjoyed reading your poem it enlightened me, been a little depressed last couple of days. Trying to work on a few issues I have here lately concerning my cops. Baby steps in motion one or two changes with my whole life, my thoughts, diet, supplements, I've got a few things to do which I truly think it will brighten and help my condition. Believe postive do the upmost you can do that's what heavenly father ask of us is to put our best forward and he'll do the rest. Trust, faith and know you need these changes to help yourself and being grateful there is hope!! Thanks
Lovely happy thoughts you have brought to the forum Happylondon, goes with the name. It really lifts my day to read such positive comments from one and all. Must say i am grateful everyday for the joy I have, just need to get rid of this horrid cold, which has settled like a unwanted visitor, needs evicting ha! Hope you enjoyed your pizza, my daughter makes her own which are lovely. Irene x
I have always been a glass half full rather than half empty sort of person, but I’m finding it quite hard at the moment. This morning the sun is shining and I’m having my coffee looking out into the Hayden with a sleeping puppy on my knee. I think today will be a good day!
Hi Helen.. so have I..today I woke up fighting negative self-talk, then told myself take your tablets and be quiet 😃
Aria was waiting behind the door wanting me to open the French windows so she could go out but she didn’t want to so I raised the blinds and saw it was snowing! Nature can be magical. It lifted my spirits.
So now like you I am going to make a coffee and sit there watching the snow fall and read the papers or just gaze out of the window..
My daughter is up, making her breakfast! Aria saw a dog so wants to go out! I have to move from my comfy sofa 😊
Well we are one hour ahead of you..
I’ll stay in today and peddle on my house bike, cook chicken for lunch, then Bea hired a film on itunes so we will watch that. Thinking out loud: Plenty of things to look forward to in the end!! Xx
I’ve been up since seven - the puppy needs to learn from his older brother. He can sleep for England! I think he thinks he’s a cat because he and Martha, our twelve year old, have very similar sleeping patterns! We’re off today with our daughter to walk the dogs along a disused railway line near where we live, followed by lunch at a newly opened coffee shop. Let’s hope the sun continues to shine!
Back home now. Lunch was good but the weather was awful. It started off being sunny, then heavy rain which turned into big hail stones, followed by snow!
Oh dear what a pity! At least lunch was good. It is raining here now. I am watching a film called the Woman in Gold with Helen Mirren. I like her. Bea set up Netflix for me. I am lucky to have her around.
Thank you so much for the inspiration Happylondon, what a lovely upbeat start to the week! I’ve been feeling a bit frustrated with my current dental issues and now also have a cold on top. So your post is timely and I’m grateful for that, just what I needed. A good reminder too to continue with my daily gratitude diary which I haven’t picked up for a while....
Sorry about your dental issues and your cold..all at once by the sound of it..A daily gratitude diary is a good idea. Thank you. I’ll do that so I can look back on the days when I tend to forget the good times.
Oh thank you. I hope it’s just a matter of time for both. Yes the diary is really useful, I started mine about a year ago and whilst it’s great to look back on the good times I also like to remind myself how I coped with the not so good times. I just need to get back into a routine now Hope it works for you x
