It’s cloudy and cold and so the sun lounger idea isn’t working and my foot is too swollen and painful for me to move far. I guess I have to give in gracefully and stay in bed or on the sofa! What positives can I find today – well as I can’t go far, I’ve seen lots more of my daughters who are taking it in turns to be with me every day, I’ve had lots of visitors and so much sleep I’m feeling very rested. I’m so lucky I’ve got such wonderful neighbours, who are popping in to make sure I’m not too bored! And it reminds me how lucky I have always been in that way – one of the things I have always had in my life has been wonderful, helpful caring supportive neighbours who have gone way above and beyond what you would expect. My life would have been so much harder without them. Building positive relationships makes so much difference, it doesn’t take that much to do and has the potential to give us lots of happiness and satisfaction. What can you do today to get to know your neighbours better – you never know when you might need one another!
