Weekly Reflections

Reasons to be cheerful ...
  • enjoying myself planning the planting scheme for the back garden
  • gaining peace of mind by making a decision on how to approach the next stage of my life (more about that next week) and reaching an acceptance of the factors outside of my control
  • phone calls with friends
  • Zoom meet ups and quiz nights
  • the wonderful news that a lifelong friend has been given the all clear after a long fight with cancer
  • looking back on the week and realising that I'd laughed out loud about something every day!
  • winning the final choir quiz 😁
  • watching Celtic Tiger (Irish dancing show starring Michael Flatley)

I am grateful ...
  • for the continued support from neighbours, checking whether I need anything and taking the time to chat
  • for the ease of online shopping and online banking

    Another week with much to be cheerful and grateful about. How lovely to read that you've found a reason to laugh out loud every day! Wonderful news about your friend, too. :) Looking forward to reading about the decision you've made about the next stage of your life. :) Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

      It's brilliant news about my friend - she's had a long, hard struggle with so many set backs.

      Hope you have a good weekend too x

    I will miss the show this week as it's not something Dad is particularly interested in but never mind.
    It sounds like a lovely week.
    xx

      It sounds like it's the final show next week - a repeat screening of Joseph starting Donny Osmond.

      It has been a lovely week thanks Joy x

      Hi Chris, yes it's been a good week. It's fantastic news about E. She was tearful when she phoned and I thought she was going to announce yet another set back but quite the opposite. They live too far away to meet so we'll be having a Zoom party to celebrate!

    A gratitude for online shopping is something I share. It cuts way down on how often I need to get out. Such good news for your friend!

      It's news we all though we'd never hear so it's fantastic for her.

      I have no plans to set foot inside a shop any time soon, so it's online or go without!
