Reasons to be cheerful ...
- phoning, texting and emailing with family and friends
- knowing that my sister and BiL, friend J, and friend H have all fully recovered from their recent illnesses
- appreciating the offers of help from neighbour S
- planning some day trips and short breaks
- dodging the raindrops and spending some time in the garden
- loving the spring bulbs and all the other splashes of colour
- celebrating the release of Anoosheh Ashoori and Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and their return to the UK
- appreciating an unexpected benefit from the problems with my eyes through a need to reduce screen time and as a result, settling down to read without distractions
I am grateful ...
- for the emergency medical appointments, ensuring a speedy diagnosis of the problems with my eyes
- for the support and well wishes from family and friends, including those in the blogging community
- that I have the resources to absorb the ever increasing costs without needing to restrict my current lifestyle

I'm glad you got your eye appointments, the problems diagnosed and treated. You remain cheerful and appreciated your time away from screens, a lesson I'm sure many could learn from you. Take care x
ReplyDeleteI just glad it was the optician I needed as the doctor surgery has been hit by staff illness so appointments are like gold dust. They texted patients this morning to say that it was emergency appts only for the next two weeks.
DeleteThe time away from screens has been really beneficial and I hope it's something I can continue with as I move forward. xx
It's lovely to read you always find reasons to be cheerful even when there are some clouds. So inspiring!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Sunday! :)
Thanks Irune. I'm still trying to remain positive, despite the problems.
DeleteHope you have a good week. xx
You must be so pleased with your bulbs this year - the photos have been gorgeous. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy. I am really pleased with all the bulbs ... just need to get some more snowdrops growing, but that's a problem for next year! xx
DeleteI'm glad you found so many reasons to be cheerful and grateful. You are doing well with focusing on the positives. :) I hope that next week will be equally full of things for being cheerful and grateful. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bless. I've learned that focusing on the positives does help my mood, and that the more I do it the easier it gets.
DeleteI hope it's the same for your week xx
