Hi Positve BSDers – finally back from Turkey and installed in front of the log burner! Have had a quick read through of the recent posts – CG, I’m pleased you are safe and haven’t suffered any loss in the fires. Wendleg – hope as you progress, your OH reconsiders this WOE as a way forward for himself. It sounds like his health could only benefit from following the BSD as well, but as we all know, it’s a personal choice and it has to be the individual’s decision.
Thought I’d post some positives, to help to get me back in the normal routine โฆ.
1) After our trip back to the UK, we spent the night with my folks and went out for a lovely meal. Good to catch up with them in person and spend a little time with them.
2) So grateful for having a log burner, as getting that going as soon as we got home was a definite bonus.
3) This one is a strange one, but driving through London on our way back from the airport, I saw a man who I guess would have been in his late thirties/early forties and by appearance probably had a limitation on his mental capacity. What made me notice him, was that he was skipping along like a child would and his evident enjoyment from doing so made me smile. It also got me thinking, what a shame it is that as adults we eschew this mode of movement, which to my mind is inherently joyful.
4) The garden has survived well while we have been away and we’ve come home to an amazing number of plants in bloom – pansies, pinks, cyclamen and primulas, all giving little flashes of colour in the general November grey. And one rose, which is a very old shrub we took from my father-in-laws garden after his death 18 yrs ago. Amazingly, it is always the first rose to bloom and the last one to give up at the end of the season.
Have a weekend full of positives โฆ…
