Wondered why you'd been offline @Ritika good to see you back and hope you're feeling better now! That was very kind of your mum x

Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell. I hope you’re feeling better now
 
Well had 3 fits in 3 days (epilepsy’s fun!) but none so far today and managed a piggy photo shoot and runaround, (not me, the pigs!). With me and Pedro’s favourite song on while I pick up the poo!
Makes me feel better, mad I know but sure he’d appreciate the bonkersness! 😍 And my poo pick up with these rodents at my house! Lovely to just have a bit of Pedro time without setting off my tears that he’s not actually here! 😍

OMG that view is amazing! Marvellous photograph too - made me happier than i was before :)

i took the dog to the vets for her laser treatment & drove past my old high school, i had to smile as there was a very majestic looking buzzard sat on the rugby goal post as i drove by the sports field... one of the best memories of that field... i'm of the 'fuller' figure & i hated it for PE! i resembled the ball opposed to the athlete at school! ⚽🏉 :yikes: :))

The view is amazing, and despite living here for 16 years I hope I can always appreciate such moments.
Ironically it was taken from a cable car through a tiny ventilation hole in a grotty perspex window.
And when I got into that cable car I was grumpy.
We had spent the afternoon skiing, and long after I had retired for coffee (and maybe a doughnut) the kids had continued to ski, and then snuck onto the last chairlift up the mountain, and taken an absolute age to get back down (by choice).

Even as I type this I am shocked at how any of the above could make me grumpy.
Sometimes you just need to step back and take a long hard look at your life to see how much you have to be thankful for.

Finally we took the gondola back to the car park, and as we got on the gondola I was thinking about all the things I had to do at home, and then I saw this.
My kids who were raised her and know no different saw this, and admitted it was good.
It really was good.
Today it was just what I needed to see.
 
Had an email today from a young man I had supported in a difficult work situation.
He’d moved away to a new post which he told me was wonderful, is now happily married and about to embark on a new adventure in work. He wanted to say thank you.
I hadn’t realised what I’d done but have felt so happy to have made a difference to someone else.
How often do we get to hear about the positive impact we have on people, or say thank you to those who made a real difference to us?
 
It’s been a good day today.
As some of you in the UK will be aware a group of people returned from China and have been quarantined here on the Wirral.
We have been asked not to take anymore books, games, toiletries in as the hospital charity shop can’t cope with anything else.
They are awash with goodies local people have taken for those in quarantine.

After all the scaremongering about the Corona virus it’s good to hear about compassion and generosity

I had similar today with a client I have been supporting. He's not ready for the next step for a month or two so I'm handing him over to my colleague. I left the room for something and afterwards my new colleague told me my client had spoke very highly of me and how much I have supported him in the most difficult times of his life. It really makes you stop and think and realise that you don't just go to work to earn a living.
 
Getting home is what made me happy today, after at work this morning I got a strike to the forehead by a very heavy solid steel bar, ( a pallet wrecking bar) no one's fault ( sort of) almost knocked me out I think, and I have a nice lump on my head as a rememberence
