Weekly Reflections

 Reasons to be cheerful ...

• phone calls with family and friends
• meeting J for coffee and cake
• the fantastic news that my niece, studying as a mature student, has been awarded a First Class Honours Degree
• enjoying a shopping trip and, for a short while, feeling that life is normal again!
• finding out that a new series of 'Who Do You Think You Are' starts on Monday
• taking positive action to improve my everyday life

I am grateful ...

• for new glasses
• central heating
• for the techniques I've learned over the years to avoid sinking into depression

Lifestyle Changes

• Knee Strengthening (every day): achieved

• Exercise (a minimum of 4,000 steps every day): achieved, plus I've managed to add an additional 10 minutes (at least, sometimes more) walk every other day.
