Good evening!

I do have some positives …..

💉🩺💉 Eye appointment yesterday just involved drops and scans which took about 30 minutes unlike my last appointment that was nearly three hours!!!

🥦🫒🫑 Lovely lunch out at a very nice French restaurant with friends we met on a cruise 6 years ago. Haven’t seen them in a while so it was really good to catch up. The food was great too!

💅💅 Pedicure tomorrow. My nails are in a mess after 4 weeks so really looking forward to having nice toes again …. if she can rescue one big toe nail that’s in bits!

Hope you have some positives. They really aren’t that hard to find!

Positives from this week!

OH saw the consultant this week, Mr Tumour is still growing slowly but not causing any problems so far, and he has started some pill based chemo to try to slow it further. So far so good!! Five years from diagnosis next April, hope for many more years yet.

I have had a (stress related) week back drinking the wine, but not put any weight back on at least 😀back to hard core 800 next week from Monday.

Mum managed to get down to Cornwall today despite a vehicle fire on the M5 briefly interrupting her journey, lovely to see her.

Thank you for rolling us on to page 127 of Positive Thoughts, V … so heartening to see that people still have some good things to post. Glad your eye appointment went well and you had a lovely meal catching up with friends.
Mixnmatch, lovely to have you posting here and so glad your medical situation remains stable. Enjoy your mum’s visit and don’t stress too much about hitting the 800 while she’s there.

My positives are quite lightweight, but here goes …
🥐🍳 breakfast with old friends yesterday, only the 2nd time we’ve managed to spend any real time with them since we got here, so a few hours very well spent
🧥🙂 bought myself a lovely new black jacket, reminiscent of the Chanel style, to wear on cooler evenings here
💕👫 date night tonight, but instead of me cooking, we’re going to one of our favourite restaurants

Please take a minute to post a positive or two, just taking a moment to identify them is good, but by sharing them you spread the positivity.

Hi all, good to hear your positives V, mixnmatch and SunnyB. Mine are not exciting to life is calm and happy.

So number one, life is calm and happy.
Dentist said no treatment except a light clean and have to drop off my denture the day before the cleaning appt so she can clean that too – just the top one.
Booked our table at the quiz night on Halloween and decided to dress up. I have a long black dress which I am going to decorate with spiders and cobwebs from the local pound shop.

Have a great weekend and don’t forget to put the clocks back. Another positive, an extra hour in bed.

Good evening!

Mixnmatch ‘stable’ is good just stay positive.

S-g a ‘calm and happy’ life is all any of us can ask for. Enjoy!

Sunny keep enjoying your time away.

It would be very easy to say ‘nothing positive here’ with the start of the long dark nights but yes there is a positive……

🌝🌞🌝 Just 8 weeks before the shortest day then the days start to get longer!

🥂🎂🍾 Just over seven weeks to my next birthday. I’ve taken a leaf out of sunshine-girls book and have decided on a goal, 1.3lbs per week loss until my birthday. I’m sure that’s doable!

🌶️🥦🧄 Friends joining us for dinner tonight. My shout so pretty low carb!

Hope your weekend has been enjoyable.

Oh Verano, I love the winter! It is so quiet and everything is resting until spring and we can rest too. The darkness is like a soft cloak and I love to light the fire and make food as the day draws down. You can sleep longer and wake later — so lovely!
I like to wear heavy wool socks and my wellies and a hat and go out in the rain and walk. All the trees are bare and the evening light coming through them is so beautiful. And after a late, late afternoon walk, you can go in the warm house and put on leggings and a sweater and just settle in for the night.

Hi there, positives

Bought some ants, yes ants, meant to be spiders but when I looked closely they are ants – these are now sewn on my black bolero jacket and
bought a pointy witches hat which I have decorated with more ants and some bats.
Weight is nice and steady and still hoping for more loss by Thursday so I don’t have to worry about any small gain.

Julia what a wonderful picture you paint! Enjoy your winter!

Unfortunately winter for me is the worst time of the year. I use crutches so fallen leaves on wet ground just doesn’t work for me but I can still enjoy the ‘outside’ by looking into my garden out of my huge picture windows! So not all is lost especially as I have quite a few acers which are amazing couloirs at the moment.

Anyway not to be downbeat ….

🌶️🥥🥦 Lovely Thai salmon curry last night with friends. I have tenderstem broccoli instead of rice. Not sure I would enjoy rice now although on the very odd occasion I do have a few pieces of sushi.

That is the sum total of my ‘positives’ at the moment. Hope others can report some positives to uplift us all.

S-g our posts crossed! Pleased to hear your weight is steady.

Ants, spiders they are all nasty ! Enjoy Halloween!

Good afternoon!

Just one positive for me today, although the day is still young….

.🗑️🧹💅 today I cleared out my make-up draw and my nick-nack draw. At last I’ve got rid of all those perfume testers, hotel shampoos, old nail polishes and I filled a waste paper basket full of useless odds and ends! Job well done and now I have space for my new lotions and potions!

Have a good day.

CG, that is a very romantic description of winter, sadly I struggle with the cold grey days and hate being cold, so find it hard to be positive about the wintertime. … enjoy though.
Ants or spiders, sounds like you are really embracing Halloween, SG.
Well done on the clear out, V. It feels good to get rid of old unused clutter doesn’t it.

Positives from me today are …
👭🙂 pleasant morning out with a friend, a little bit of retail therapy and coffee
🧺🧺 laundry up to date … dries so quickly here at the moment too
🌅🌅 glorious sunset this evening, beautiful golds and pinks.

Go on, be daring and post a positive!

Hello November!

Well the year is moving on so quickly but I do have a few positives ….

💉🩺💉 Eye test showed no problems from the medication I take so good news.

🌶️🫑🧄 Thai meal out tonight which is lovely. I will do my very best to stay on track.

🥑🫒🥦 Found some new soup recipes today but need to work out the carb content before I start cooking. Must look back at the soup thread!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend with plenty of positives.

Have decided that I really do need to find at least 1 positive each day. I have a friend who at the moment can only see the doom and gloom in life …. there has to be a better way……

🌶️🥥🧄 lovely Thai meal with wonderful company. Definite positive!

Try to find a positive, no matter how small!
