This year did not start well, with Muffy's death, the mysterious, excruciating pain in my left hand resulting in a night in hospital, then two weeks with a severe dose of flu where I could barely raise my head from the pillow. All this sent me into a deep depression, so I am now seeing a counsellor. Her good advice was to wake up every morning and think of three positive things about my life.
Since I didn't sleep much last night, this is not quite waking up in the morning, as it's almost 4pm. But here we go:
#1 Muffy's memorial garden coming along nicely
Lina gave me some succulent cuttings at the weekend, so I planted some of them here and others in the front garden.
#2 Washing drying in the sun
There is nothing better than the smell of clean clothes that have been in the sun all day. My mother used to sing when she hung out the washing! (You can just see the pink flowers on Muffy's grave at bottom left.)
#3 Friends
Why I ever get depressed I do not understand, with so many wonderful friends from all over the world. It's always a happy time when they come to visit!
