Get dressed

Getting dressed, getting ready for the new day is routine for some

it can be exciting or meditative for others.

Once you choose your clothes

add these:

Try optimism on. It’s one size fits all.

And it’s free. Go on, it’ll look great on you!

A smile is the best makeup that a girl can wear

Sprinkle a little more love onto everything you do.

Let the light within your heart shine throughout the world.

Now you can journey through your day

with efficiency, hope and a sense of humour.

 

And don’t forget:

You are amazing! 

Everything you do right now ripples outward and affects everyone
Your posture can shine your heart or transmit anxiety
Your breath can radiate Love or muddy the room in depression
Your glance can awaken joy
Your words can inspire freedom
Your every act can open hearts and minds

Snow

Many countries have had lots of snow and really cold arctic temperatures.

I have seen beautiful snow pictures from other bloggers.

Here in London,

we had it cold (as it seemed for us) but not bitter cold

and little snow like a dusting some days.

Here are my only impressions from the Winter.

On my walk to work, I liked these

It is lovely to see the little snow crystalls.

 

 

 

Spring is in the Air

My dear friends,

thank you for all your prayers and good wishes

I am honoured to have such wonderful friends.

I feel much better and

I am back at work, taking it easy though.

Walking to work,

I see little daffodills trying to come through.

What a joy to see.

I can hear birds singing and chirping,

What a joy to hear.

I am very grateful to be able to experience the first signs of Spring.

Nature brings new life and is healing.

Enjoying these little beauties make me feel happy.

Do you have any signs of Spring where you live?

 

Staying positive

Being positive is what I am,

unfortunately the virus thought the same.

I tested positive for the virus after I fell ill starting with a massive headache.

Fever came second and then I started the cough.

Even though I had been extremely careful, never went out, had all shopping on line delivered, only walked to work and back, wearing masks, washing hands, keeping my distance always.

Still I got it, it seems to be so easy to get infected.

————————————————————-

My isolation period is over now and I am feeling better.

I am lucky and I am super grateful that I could stay home and deal with all symptoms myself and concentrate on getting better.

Tiredness/ feeling exhausted and losing the sense of taste and concentration is what is left.

It does zap the life out of you and it will take time to get back to normal.

I can’t concentrate on a good book, but rather sleep. I sleep more than ever.

 

Eating is a chore as everything tastes rubbish.

Even chocolate isn’t appealing.

I am a fighter and I will conquer this too!

– for the sake of chocolate 🙂

 

 

The NHS has been amazing I can only give them praise.

I ordered the test online, it was delivered the next day , done and posted back.

The result came via email the day after.

The NHS sent me texts with clear instructions of isolation dates continuously.

They kept phoning throughout my isolation period to check how I am doing and to give advice on questions I have.

 

Thank you NHS for helping me through this difficult period.

I urge everyone to be extremely careful.

Wash hands, stay away from people and stay safe.

Keep the virtual love and hugs going – 

they are more needed than ever.

To say that you are great, amazing,

Happy is good for your Health

In these challenging times

it is so important to still be happy.

As Voltaire describes and Francois illustrates it:

 

Happiness is good for your health

now even more!

 

Stay happy and healthy!

A new lockdown for England

We have just heard we are starting a new lockdown in England.

We don’t even know how long for.

So I wanted to reach out and send some love round

and lots of virtual hugs.

We do need it.

 

So much love to you all , my friends.

My wish for you is to

Keep safe and healthy!

A very healthy and happy new Year 2021

2020 will go down in history.

with the virus

and for the UK additional with the Brexit news.

It has been a difficult year for everyone,

a year of new challenges,

a year of learning,

a year of many changes.

We will look at life differently,

with changed attitudes of what is important to us.

We need to keep on smiling next year,

we are stronger than ever.

 

“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

Philippians 4,13

 

One day our hugs

will be longer and

more meaningful than ever.

 

Our positive attitude will help us to go on,

helping and supporting each other.

May you always have a reason to smile.

Stay healthy, stay strong and stay happy.

 

Thank you, my wonderful friends for all your visits and support

during this year on my blog.

Sending you all my love! 

Have a wonderful, amazing

New Year 2021!

May it bring Peace, good Health,

Joy, Happiness, lots of Love and Kindness

to everyone!

Hello December – December the 1st – We open the first window in our advent calendar

Welcome December !

 

The Motto for December is:

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

It had been a very different and hard year for the whole world.

Yet there is still always something good in every day.

This is what we need to celebrate.

We have adapted to the new normal and

we are still learning.

 

Love is always there and we need now more than ever.

Spread the love and kindness,

find something to celebrate everyday!

Sending my love all over the world to you

wishing you a peaceful December !

 

For December I will post a quote or saying every day

so you can “open” a window in my Advent Calendar.

♥ Enjoy ♥

My Christmas cactus

Last year in December I bought a Christmas Cactus as a gift for someone.

Before I could give it, all buds fell off so I kept it.

Over Spring Summer and Autumn I left it outside in the garden.

In September I noticed that it is forming many buds.

When it got colder in November I took it in.

Watching it every day with joy the buds got bigger.

Today is a very happy day!

They are opening:

 

 

What wonderful display, a beautiful red!

I am so overjoyed.

 

Flowers do make the world laugh!
