I wasn't sure whether to continue with the blog just now, while my husband is ill.
What would I write about?
Would I feel like writing anyway?
But I love writing the blog, I always say it helps me think, it is a focal point in the day and the friendly and supportive conversations with commenters always give me more to think about. In recent days for example (from the comments) - the power of positive thinking and goodwill, the comfort of routines and ordinary things in times of stress, the instinct to nest to feel secure, the obviously innate desire we have to support each other in difficult times, the idea of silver linings, virtual hugs (almost as good as real ones!), the downsides of country living, looking after oneself, finding the balance between waiting and putting things on hold and still living one's days fully............there is plenty of scope there, do you think?
And since we all experience illness and stress at sometime in our lives maybe it will be relevant to keep blogging.
Here are three things I am very grateful for today -
Our National Health Service here in UK
Mobile phones
Holiday insurance (Oh Venezia....)
