Weekly Reflections

summer snowflakes

 

Reasons to be cheerful ...

• phoning, texting and emailing with family and friends
• enjoying an afternoon with the canasta group ... lots of laughter!
• taking part in an online quiz and finishing in joint second place ... all the questions were about Canada and I had no idea that I knew so many facts about the country!
• hearing that Amy, my personal trainer, had given birth to her first child ... a healthy little boy
• enjoying my piano lesson
• celebrating three birthdays with the book group ladies
• enjoying my first picnic of the year on Good Friday ... eaten in the car because it wasn't warm enough to sit outside, but this is England and we a used to things like that!
• loving all the signs of spring, especially the blossom on the trees
• spending Easter Saturday with friends: sharing breakfast with L&P who broke their journey to London to visit; an afternoon with H, sharing lunch, and making tentative plans for some day trips later in the year; an evening with E sharing an Indian takeaway and watching 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves' on TV
• making some progress on organising the boxes I moved upstairs but especially enjoying being in the music room again now that it is cleared of clutter
• adding more dates to my diary

I am grateful ...

• for prescription medication that's effective in stopping an impending migraine in its tracks!
• for thoughtful friends
• for a few sunny days with just the occasional rain shower
