Looking on the bright side

[callmemadam]

Yesterday morning I had my first grocery delivery for three weeks and got everything I asked for. I’d been craving fresh vegetables and fell upon salad for lunch and greens with supper.
When I look out of one of my upstairs windows, I see in the distance a hedge of blackthorn in flower.
When I draw the curtains at dusk, the whole garden is glowing with pale primroses.
Yesterday evening, I watched my DVD of The Enchanted April. Perfect escapism.
I had to wake myself at midnight to book another delivery slot and spent much less time in a queue than I did last week.
This morning, I phoned about renewing my motor insurance. After reading all the emails the company has been sending me, I was expecting a very long wait. By great luck, I got straight through to speak to someone. This was a very pleasant surprise.
I’m about to go out into the garden without a coat on, to deadhead some more daffodils and do other small jobs.

Small things.

There are always positives when we look for them aren't there? :)

Glad you got all you wanted in your delivery and are managing to book slots. I booked one last night so I have one for tomorrow, one for 16th and one for the 28th. Plenty for me to keep stocked up with things I need.

The primroses must look gorgeous, I do like them very much. We are due a lovely few days which is great. Small things indeed. x

You know that thing 'think of five good things that happened today even if it's just that someone smiled at you'? I think I just did it.

Thank goodness I have slots until the end of the month now. Just had my letter from Boris telling me to stay at home because I'm over seventy.

I think primroses must be my favourite flower and they really flourish here. Today it's warm enough to sit outside, with no cold wind to spoil it. Hope it's the same for you.

I’m so glad you had a good day and things are looking brighter for you.

Thank you for my lovely card.

Thank you. Small steps are the only way forward.

The five good things (or positives) is a really good habit to get into :)
Yes, it's been a glorious couple of days with more to come :)
