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!

Feeling low – Here are some helpful pick ups

It is not easy to be always on top of the world.

If you are feeling down at the moment,

here are some quotes to help and a cup of positivitea.

 

Everyday is a new day- a day for new beginnings.

You can only deal with one day at a time.

Don’t stress too much about tomorrow.

Easy does it.

No matter how hard the past,

you can always begin again. – Buddha

Don’t worry about the entire future.

It can only come one day at a time.

Do what you can

with what you have

where you are.

Think of a precious privilege

it is to be alive-

to breathe, to think,. to enjoy 

and to love.

Marcus Aurelius

 

 

Wishing you a better day and sending you comforting hugs!

 

 

Question to bloggers

I have a question to all bloggers out there please.

My blog is over 5 years old and is slowly running out of space. ( free theme)

What can I do to add space? ( not buying additional space though)

Do I need to delete posts, which I don’t really like.

Do I need to start a new one and start all over again?

I have exported the whole lot and got it on my downloads. – for info

Any ideas are appreciated bearing in mind that I am not that computer savvy.

 

Thank you

We all go through ups and downs in our life and sometimes need some help which is not always straight there.  So we can help each other.

Award – sort of….

This post is dedicated to my friend and blogger Alastair!

WordPress has changed again and not being so computer literate as others I struggled for the last couple of days.  I was afraid I can’t do pictures any more……

My wonderful friend Al, also a blogger, came to the rescue and made me a very happy blogger again.

So I am nominating him as the

WordPress First Aider 2014

This is a personal Award specially for Alastair as I am so grateful and I am sure other bloggers find his help pages also useful.

As you can see, I can do it again, big picture , small and tiny…… all by myself thanks to Al.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It is great how bloggers help each other like a big family and it is so much appreciated.

Much love to all my friends!

and happy blogging!
