    That’s all we can do right now, look for the positives and try and make the best of a bad situation.

    - Staying away from each other is keeping us safe
    - I still have my lovely, caring dh
    - I can still see ds who is in our bubble
    - we have technology to keep us in touch with dd and gdds 
    - I have a nice home
    - i will be able to go shopping to buy the food we want for Christmas 
    - there are a lot of folk off so much worse off than we are.
    - I’m continuing to get stronger after the surgery earlier this year 👍👍
    - When the virus levels are lower we can have the biggest party ever 👍
    Very true, get that shopping list and get your goodies to cook in your new kitchen. 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.
