Reasons To Be Cheerful

[lady-janine]

this comes with apologies for all of you still snowed in; unable to get out or dealing very sad things in your lives, but i feel happy today.

1. my youngest rang and has some time off and want to some and see her mummy - arriving thursday week and going home sunday. her excus is she wants some home made fudge and welsh cakes.
2. the weather is dry today and i have managed to get the washing out -1 load out 3 to go. but this is a start.
3. got whole fresh salmon at the fishmongers. (going to deal with it in a mo).
4. cleaned windows on sunday and it hasn't rained again yet.
5. i've got some good friends.

[andy-hughes]

I have a loving wife, three wonderful daughters, four (soon to be five!) fabulous grandchildren, a day job I like, a second job i adore.

I am so so lucky, and I think about how lucky i am every day, and appreciate it.

Weather? Who cares!

[lady-janine]

andy - that is brilliant. so pleased for you. you sound a close and loving family.

we get a lot of grey weather nd rain and sometimes - just sometimes - it gets me down a bit. so today things are better.

[mccfluff]

torpedoes, although one is flat, but its the biggest so im having it anyway

I live in comfort ( thanks to modern medicine ) , I don't go hungry or thirsty, I have more reasons to be cheerful for than others. I am starting to see through the fog.

" i've got some good friends. "

Hope you are referring to us ABers :)

[lady-janine]

of course society. and all my other friends.

[society]

Are you getting paid for 5 days or 4 days?

[lady-janine]

another reason to be cheerful is that i've just bought a new battery for my car and am mobile again and the man at the tyre place said i do not need new tyres just yet. happy.

[society]

2. Mum and her boyfriend back from Sweden later today.
3.Going for a walk with my dogs in the very deep snow which they love and play in (Alaskan Malamutes).
