Reasons to be cheerful ...
- phoning, texting and emailing with family and friends
- enjoying a long awaited theatre trip to London to see 'Once'
- booking a short break in July ... something to look forward to
- booking a ticket to a talk by the historian Ruth Goodman, who I've wanted to see for years
- catching up with M when she returned for her first visit to my garden this year
- being able to rearrange my piano lessons to a more suitable day
- enjoying the finals of Dancing on Ice, The Great Pottery Throw Down, and Only Connect ... and feeling that the right person won in each case!
- feeling that I have a much better structure to my life, that I'm no longer drifting from day to day but that enough days now have a purpose to help me feel good in myself
- making a (slow) start on the next lot of decluttering
- loving the colours appearing in the garden as the bulbs start to flower
- for the opportunities the U3A offers to build new friendships
- for online resources
- for blue skies and slightly warmer temperatures ... it'll soon be warm enough to sit out in the garden!
Lots of reasons to be cheerful with things to look forward to and organising your time better all very positive. It's definitely getting warmer and your garden will look beautiful again, I'm looking forward to sitting outside too xx
ReplyDeleteYou've got all your lovely new garden furniture to enjoy this year haven't you? I still have to sort out what I want in my garden but I'll wait until the pergola is finished. xx
DeleteIt all sounds brilliant and as for the Ruth Goodman talk - I am fighting jealousy!!! :-)

I've wanted to go to one of her talks and/or workshops since I first saw her on TV. I'd almost given up home so am really excited about this opportunity to see her. xx
DeleteAnother wonderful week filled with things to be cheerful and grateful. I especially liked that one about feeling you have better structure/not drifting from day to day. You've worked hard to bring that about. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bless. I've reached a point where I seem to have the right balance between social time and time alone, work and pleasure, hobbies and chores. Of course, now I have to keep that balance! xx
DeleteYour comment about feeling you have a better structure to your life, & not drifting was quite an impactful moment for me. I've been working on some ideas to implement some changes to my own life, starting with some time management changes.
ReplyDeleteIt's taken a while to get to this position but it has definitely been worth the effort. I really hope you are able to effect the changes that only you know what you need to make. It's not always easy but it's worth persevering xx
DeleteI can definitely tell you have more structure to your days and weeks -- good for you for getting out and about more, and for sharing your adventures with us.
