3 Good Things (again)

1. Had my annual haircut yesterday - good for another year! 

2. Consequently, have done nothing today, just rested

3. The sun is shining, time for a walk with my lovely dog   

I find myself back here......again.....and wish  to cleanse and flush with some positivity and connectivity

1.  Observational acuity = thanks autism.

2.  Profound principles = thanks autism.

3.  Still having fingers and an off-switch = thanks "hands"!!!

1. Went for a walk this morning, the clouds have made it much cooler than yesterday, then stopped at coffee shop for coffee and a cake.
2. Talked to the next nice lady in the florists, and got another bunch of flowers.
3. Made an appointment to get my hair cut, properly rather than just clippers. It's a new place I've never used before. Had to walk past it 3 times before I could go in. It never seems to go away; new places are hard to enter.

This year, the local sweet corn looks a pretty poor show.  Even that likely destined for fodder looks very behind schedule.

All the fields round me are done, were done a few weeks ago. Wheat seems to have done better than I expected.

Only field I noticed that's still going has sweet corn.

1. A good cooked breakfast at home (a once a week treat).

2. Harvested the homegrown Damsons (bumper crop this year - from one small tree - about 12.5 lb / 5.6 kg).

3. This afternoon, I can hear combine harvesters busy in the local fields (therefore, worth spending some extra time in the garden - as different wild birds may take refuge there for a few hours - I have put out a pan of water in case that proves to be so).

1. The sun is shining.
2. Did some drawing last night.
3. Feeling happy.

1. Watching the series Snowpiercer
2. Looking forward to sleep
3. Mental health improved since making more time for myself 

Saved the day of buying quiche and two big pots of yoghurt 

Used the new shower for the first time.

Sunshine 

1. My friend David's patience with me 

2. Devon Price Unmasking for Life book

3. New connections on this website 

1. Found a great podcast

2. Got a good shift at work

3. Going to sleep well tonight

I've needed to "dig deep" to find these in my crowded mind at this moment....but it is a worthy endeavour to direct one's focus on good things....to share...

1. The simple, reliable, longstanding and consistent positivity and connectivity that this thread has always provided.  ( Cheers Desmond)

2. Being prompted to recall happy times.

3. Off-switches, and the fingers to use them.

1. Met up with my ex-apprentice - he is doing okay

2. My daughter passed her AS levels with Bs

3. I have you guys here to chat to

Been supported by everyone here

Mum came a visited me today 

Playing more Mario jamboree add on 

1. Sword fighting with swordfish

2. Didn’t get any sleep but wasn’t tired at all

3. Ali was rolling around in grass 

It’s good that they have had so many different roles available in the past, but I don’t expect many local roles will be advertised in my area, at least going by the few times I have checked. 

Great that this is your new special interest. I am not quite there with you, but I would be delighted if it should become so.

I am going to set a reminder to check the roles advertised regularly. Perhaps, with the start of the academic year coming up, more roles will be available. 

Yes, a notification feature would be beneficial. In the meantime I am going to do a ‘mock response’ to suitable roles that may come up, with a view to avoiding potential last minute stress.

Good luck Mrs Snooks! 

1. Finally got my tooth taken out (glad that’s over with)
2. I can feel my face again (not a fun sensation being numb)
3. I think this forum has woven its way into my routine.

️1. Feeling well

2. Watching a really nice comedy 

3. Had some delicious chocolate

Yes, that's what I was hoping for myself too. Hope you find something. I have signed up for the newsletter for 'interested in volunteering' and will keep on checking for advertised roles. I had hoped they might have a notifications feature on the site, so that it would eamail me with local options, when they come up. But I can keep checking as part of my new 'special interest'. 

Quiche is off limits for me. The only school trip I ever went on and a mix of the most horrible teacher ever topped off with her forcing me to eat quiche resulted in me never going on a trip again. 
Love the smell of it when it’s bubbling away in the oven but just can’t bring myself to go back there.
