Sunday 24 January Despite the cloudy, dull grey skies and the cold and damp weather, the weekend has been wonderful. A much needed time to rest my head and my soul. I promised myself that I would refocus on the things that make me happy. Walking and spending time with the family – check; twoContinue reading “Day 310”

Day 309
Saturday 23 January 07:45 Every so often, when time allows, I take a trip back through this blog to a randomly selected day. I place my thumb on the screen, on top of the past three-hundred or so days, and swiftly swish through the list. The list blurs like a roulette wheel. Occasionally one swishContinue reading “Day 309”
Day 308
Friday 22 January Good day, bad day, good, bad…and today was a good day. I have been wondering if this up and down feeling is normal, whether others feel like this or if it’s for a more exclusive group. I suspect the former. I am hoping (probably not the right word) that most people fluctuateContinue reading “Day 308”
Day 307
Thursday 21 January I woke to a fuggish feeling this morning, definitely felt worn out after the day and night before. I cannot believe the ups and downs of everything at the moment. January and February have always been my most disliked months, this year I am finding them harder to deal with than normal.Continue reading “Day 307”
Day 306
Wednesday 20 January So I prepared a little of today’s post yesterday in anticipation of another day of abnormal normality. But I will shift it to another day. Because today has been a day worth writing about. I have noticed that most days are manageable if somewhat challenging, but others are a real struggle. SayingContinue reading “Day 306”
Day 305
Tuesday 19 January I have to confess that my interest in ghost stories has a danger of becoming an obsession. Not the tacky, predictable, toffee-apple stories of white sheeted apparitions of the last day of October. I have become gripped, as generations have before me, of the supernatural stories that were popular at the turnContinue reading “Day 305”
Day 304
Monday 18 January Today started with a mini-positive moment that sort of set me up for a fairly good day. I have never been a Monday person. If truth be told, I’m not a fan of mornings either. So, logic suggests that Monday mornings, when they come round, as they invariably do each week, areContinue reading “Day 304”
Day 303
Sunday 17 January 11.40am. It is so beautifully sunny this morning. Twenty-four hours ago it was a dense grey sky delivering sleet, snow and rain. And with the sparkling sunshine has come a whole load of things that I want to write about, but I need to be patient and space them out. I mustContinue reading “Day 303”
Day 302
Saturday 16 January Yesterday, a blue tit took centre stage. Today, whilst walking locally, it was the great tits’ turn. I have only really heard flocks of birds making noise over the past couple of months. Individual bird song is noticeably absent around us, apart from the odd robin or distant magpie. But the toot-tootsContinue reading “Day 302”
Day 301
Friday 15 January How did my day go today? What difference did I make to the world? I would like to say that I’m a reflective person, but I’m not. Not to the extent that I would like to be anyway. That’s not to say I am not conscientious or driven. At the moment mentalContinue reading “Day 301”
