to ask what has cheered you up today?

[MaMaLa321]

as I'm finding things pretty grim at the moment, I was wondering if other posters would like to share what's cheered them up today - no matter how fleetingly.
Mine has been discovering videos of Stanley Tucci cooking on Youtube. What a cool guy.

I made a friend laugh and they had to do that thing where they cover their mouth to stop the coffee exploding out. Which made me laugh even more :D

I had a really nice walk with our new pup in the woods very early this morning. It was peaceful and the light was amazing.

Quality time most unexpected!

The beginnings of my taste coming back ( on day 11 of covid ) 🥳

Our matching Xmas pjs arrived today. The new born baby ones are just so tiny and cute 😍

thank you! My heart feels warmer already

I got to spend the day in the garden tidying up, the sun shone all day. It was such a pleasure.

Pottering about the garden with my elderly mum for an hour this afternoon. I’ve hardly seen her since Covid as she has to shield, so it’s lovely to be spending a few days together.

I've had an absolute dog shit day, but DS (5) dancing to the rap at the end of Hotel Transylvania has totally made my day!

Cuddling my new baby daughter.

A patient called back my clinic after her treatment with me to thank me and say that she feels amazing. Made my day!

The dog I dogsit snuggling on my lap like a (fluffy) baby

A text from an old friend saying how amazing I’m doing with my degree training. Really made me smile 😊

Had an hour-long bike ride with my partner in the lovely autumn sunshine. I wasn't really in the mood but felt much better afterwards.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My 9 year old reaching to hold my hand when out for a walk, he is normally far too old for that sort of thing

I got tickets to see Coldplay at Wembley in spite of the internet going off and a queue of 24000 people ahead of me. Roll on next August. We've seen them loads live and they put on the best shows.

Got an email confirming some work experience I've been trying to arrange. One of many first steps on a path to change career. Getting excited,

The hunky delivery guy at work (who I've got a slight crush on) flirted with me and stroked my bare arm. He's ten years younger than me but oh yes, I so would

Resigning from my job

We had a lovely walk in an absolutely beautiful part of the west of Scotland.

Just stunning. We managed to miss the rain too, just started as we got back to the car.

Stopped my car to let some high school kids cross, and their cheerful smiles and thumbs up/waves to say thanks brought a tear to my eye. Young folk have given up so much in the last year and a half, it always makes my heart soar to see them out and about doing normal things, even if it is crossing the road at lunchtime to get a roll from the shop.
