Positively 2025

What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

Spring 2024 was an absolute washout. We were robbed of what is a beautiful season. All that newness. Mother Earth awakening and showing us bursts of growth and colour for the first time in months. It didn’t happen then, but this year, it did, in a truly spectacular way.

Summer was a surprise, and what a treat! England basking in brilliant sunshine day in and day out.

Autumn, not to be out done was majestic. The colours so bold and vibrant.

There, we had three traditional seasons in a row. What will winter bring?

Personal events to celebrate included a very happy birthday, a car which passed its MOT. A clear mammogram and a lovely holiday with old friends.

Are you positive?

Share five things you’re good at.


I guess there are going to be some spectacular achievements and abilities revealed today in response to this DP. I look forward to reading those and being suitably impressed.

Mine? Well, there won’t be any loud applause coming my way as I reveal five things I’m  fairly good at, but that’s fine.

What’s the best thing? Knowing I am giving Patch his best life. Without any conditions. Yes, if I had a squeak, he’d gut me like a fish, but hey ho.

I’m definitely good at never getting/ being bored. I can always find something to do if that’s what is called for. Also, I’ve got chilling off to an art.

Next? Umm, I enjoy a good sense of humour. I like funny. I love funny people and/or folk who make some effort to be upbeat. I had given up the Socials, but I have been lured back into TikTok recently. There are things there-animal antics, mostly, that do make me laugh out loud.

I guess this one sort of continues from the last. I’m good at not taking my life too seriously. What’s the point?

And lastly, but not leastly. Gratitude. I’m properly good at that. No, I’m I’m not an angel, and I do lust after ‘things’ or a lifestyle I’m unlikely to achieve. But importantly, I recognise  I have what I need
