I thought about cancelling my cervical smear 150 times in the hour before my app and I did it and I strutted out that GP practice not actually feeling abused for the first time

Thats positive for me!

My DD is 1 week old today and sound asleep on my chest. I’m so in love.

I had cheese fondue for dinner and it was a marvel.

My sons are coming home from college in a week and I cant wait!! And tomorrow I am having dinner with my best friend from high school.

Most people are decent and kind. Most people enjoy life. Most people love their spouse/partner, parents, kids and extended family.

There is a paper called the happy newspaper and it only prints positive stories.

AreYouBrandNew · 19/11/2024 20:29

There is lots of good stuff out there. Sorry if you are having a rough time. If it’s a media thing then the New Scientist is fully of amazing people doing brilliant things even if subject is tough eg climate

Was so happy today after watching my 2 year olds reaction to seeing snow for the first time. He did a thorough examination of it and decided that walking over untrodden snow is the best thing ever😁

Tina159 · 19/11/2024 20:39

All the snow today made me feel really Christmassy so I put up my Christmas tree and it looks beautiful.

He is correct!

Definitely 😂 just a shame it's disappearing so fast😔

My (vv lazy) 11 month old DD crawled today. Not backwards, she’s decided to skip that part, but forwards towards anything that takes her eye. I was squealing with excitement so she sat up and clapped. I was in tears, safe to say

FoFanta · 19/11/2024 20:46

Had a lovely dinner with my gorgeous 22 year old niece who I don't get to see very often. She is growing up to be a lovely, kind and witty young woman and it has been one of the joys of my life to be a teeny tiny part of her journey.

Hollowvoice · 19/11/2024 20:47

Thanks for this thread. I've been feeling very negative this week (it's only Tuesday!) so also need some positivity.

For me - despite feeling/knowing I've been doing a crap job at work recently I've had some really good/nice feedback in the last week.

I was absolutely freezing today and so finally got round to making hot chocolate with a bit of cornflour added (in the microwave to make it extra simple).

As I’m rubbish in the kitchen I was thrilled that it actually turned out thick, creamy and chocolatey. And really hot.

Itsallsostressful · 19/11/2024 20:53

Thank you for these it's really gave me a wonderful warm feeling! Also thank you for the recommendations as it has been the news stuff getting me down 😔

I have just undergone breast cancer and a mastectony with lymphs nodes. My results are clear. No cancer left. Just 6 months of immunotherapy to go and reconstruction. Life is good

Igotjelly · 19/11/2024 21:07

Just remember that there are far more good people out there than bad, they just don’t make the news as often. They just squirrel away making the world a better place ❤️

Maddy70 · 19/11/2024 21:15

Undergone Chemotherapy should have said!

My big boss (I'm a landlady of a pub, but have someone I am answerable to at the pub company) came today and I dread it.
I never get told anything positive, I work 18 hour days right now and it's quite demoralising.

However, today he said I was doing "exceptionally well" and takings are "well up". He actually said on the way out to keep up the good work.

I could've fainted.

DonnaSummet · 19/11/2024 21:20

I'm in bed now in fresh sheets, freshly washed pj's, my heavy winter duvet is on and I've got mumsnet and big mug of tea- I feel as snug as a bug in a rug.

SkaneTos · 19/11/2024 21:20

I have OCD, and today I managed to do something that my OCD told me this morning I could absolutely not do. It went fine, and I'm so relieved. Looking forward to a good and productive day tomorrow, too!

So happy to read eveyone's good news in this thread!

Chan9eusername · 19/11/2024 21:21

My 5 year old played 3 notes really beautifully on her recorder today. She's practiced really carefully :)

Silvertulips · 19/11/2024 21:22

I am lying in a warm newly made bed! Utter joy.

DonnaSummet · 19/11/2024 21:22

Oh and my next door neighbour has just delivered a baby! Which is always happy news 😀
