Name two positives

[theoriginalmadambee]

Positive thinking, I'll go first.

My ruccula/rocket has germinated
The sun is shining

Not having to see/speak or party app with people I don’t like.

Doing lessons with my child that are interesting for him.

After self isolating my dd will finally be coming home today, my little family will be together now, Yay 🥰.

Oh and the sun is still shining .

We have a duck couple who have moved onto our pond.
I’m endlessly fascinated listening to DH in his meetings and now know loads more about what he actually does for a living.
My teens want to hang out with me loads.
I have a whole project going on, planning an at home prom for when this is over as DD’s isn’t going to happen and she really wants to wear her dress. I should become a party planner, I LOVE this kind of thing!

@Elouera Please leave. This is a room for none of that talk.

The shop below me is shut, so no banging on doors to wake me up.

Very few cars, so I can hear people talking nonsense and WhatsApp the latest to my son.

We're all wearing our PJs almost all day so the washing basket has never been so empty.

I can't just nip to the shop when I feel like it so I can't eat loads of chocolate and other crap. My waistline and blood pressure is thanking me.

I have a big bag of brand new yarn.
We're having pasta for dinner.

I've realised how much I like my workplace and colleagues.

I live in a lovely part of the world and can exercise in the countryside.

I had to go to the supermarket today but picked up lovely daffodils which are now brightening my house.

I've never been in such frequent contact with quite a lot of my friends. It's lovely!

I'm reading a good book at the moment (Don't always get it but I'm trying. )
Had my food shopping delivered this morning. Delivery guy was very good, not stressed, chatty, stood far back. I thank him.

The grass is cut

My last day of work tomorrow as I will officially be on maternity leave Monday, although my boss has given me tomorrow off wfh 😁❤️

We brought stock back from our coffee kiosk that we’ve closed for the foreseeable and it included a massive slab of Brownie!
Also, my baby has the cutest snore ever.

Community spirit seems to have made a comeback where I live!

^is my second positive as I mentioned a first earlier in thread but couldn’t think of a 2nd at that point.

it included a massive slab of Brownie!

Nice

Also, my baby has the cutest snore ever.

That made me go 'Aww.'

I have so many positives. Felt so happy yesterday (despite having to start to self-isolate on Wednesday as DP had symptoms - but he’s now getting better). Here are a few:

• The air in the big city where I live is cleaner than it’s ever been.
• The skies are so clear both in daytime and at night.
• There’s so much less road and construction noise (sensing a theme here) .
• I managed to finally clean the windows in our flat (it’s tricky as it’s high up and you have to reach out with a pole). So the views - unfortunately not of nature - are even clearer and the flat is brighter.
• I’m enjoying working from home for the first time ever and enjoying the company of my DP.
• Even though I can’t see my kids at the moment, I know they are well and also benefiting from the calmness in some ways.
• I am enjoying my work and not feeling mad pressure to get things done, and getting the chance to work calmly on some longer-term projects.
• I am happy with my decision to take time away from FB and Twitter and not to watch the news very much. It’s adding to my feelings of calm and contentment.
• I’m loving this CV-free zone on MN.

Oh, and I’m back into reading (had lost habit). Now on second of Ann Cleeves’ Shetland series. I recommend!

People are showing a kinder attitude.

Nature is thriving!

I've made loads of new friends online and my anxiety has actually gone down.

I’ve made friends with an elderly neighbour. Never even spoken to her before last week as our paths dont tend to cross. Now I think she’s brill.

Not having to think up excuses not to go to the gym!

In America along with the shocking run on fire arms buying, there has also been a rush to sign up to foster rescue dogs and the like whilst people are working from home.

I love that!

DD was struggling with being at school.
She now has some time to 'reset' so it has taken the pressure off a bit.

Flat getting cleaned big time decluttering, also new stuff for kitchen in July.

I've just spent the majority of the last 2 weeks with my kids. I haven't done this since mat leave. I work shifts and normally miss so much.

The weather has been great this week! Kids have been really enjoying the garden really for the first time this year!

This time last year I had 3 DC living on 3 different continents, grateful that they’ve all been home since before Christmas, and we are altogether.
Everyone mucking in to keep the house tidy and clean.
