Today I have decided to count my blessings and focus on the positives in my life because otherwise I think I would be completely swallowed up by despair with the world we live in.

So much hate, greed and destruction in the world. Why can't the human race simply co-exist peacefully together for the sake of all humanity. 💔

A beautiful spring day which is perfect to start work on the garden for the year ahead is a welcome respite from all the doom and gloom in the world right now.

Sometimes you've just got to hang on to your sense of humour - it's all that keeps you sane in a mad world!

The VP of the USA seems to have tried to create a very public split between the USA and 2 of its allies (UK & Ukraine) by deliberately trying to provoke their elected Heads of State when they visited the White House.

It does not reflect well on the USA so why is he doing it?

Worrying times ahead.

Deflecting onto others, rather than facing up to and addressing your own mistakes is not a very wise thing to do. It just escalates a situation unnecessarily.

We all need a bit of self awareness now and again.

Some "grown-ups" really do need to grow up 😳.

Good to know that even in the most depressing of times, there is still some good humour to be shared.

Some people need to give their heads a good wobble!

Music evokes so many memories and emotions when you lose someone close to you.

First time going to our village 'Carols on the Village Green' last night. So lovely to be part of a community coming together. With all the hate in the world right now, it was good to feel part of peace and love from other humans. 🎄

It's lovely when colleagues become friends and your connection lasts way after you leave work.

Just watched the Jeremy Clarkson interview with Victoria Derbyshire. His responses certainly don't help the farmers cause.

Finding myself opening this App first for a browse more often now. It feels like the algorithm is far more balanced than what I was experiencing in the other place.

In this crazy world we're living in it's important to appreciate the simple blessings in our lives. A lovely evening spent with good friends and family is just the tonic you need sometimes 💕.

When you've moved to a new area and feel like you've lived there your entire life already must be sure sign you've found your "forever home".

We need a lot less hate and division in the world right now and a lot more kindness and hope for a better future for everyone.
