Greetings friends.
I thought I'd share a few blessings or happy things from the day:
1. I got some vague whiffs of smells today. I got some tomato pasta out of the microwave and just for a minute, I got a whiff of something tomatoey and later, a whiff of coconut oil as CBC was preparing to cook. I also have some vague sensation of taste today when I ate some strong garlic.
2. Delicious red lentils: though I couldn't taste very much, I was appreciative of the deliciousness of them and how many yummy vegetables CBC cooked.
3. A local vegetable wholesaler is selling to the public and someone posted it on Facebook. We phoned up and ordered some lovely vegetables and EGGS!!!! CBC will pick it up on Monday.
4. CBC is now on for the idea of raised beds! Ordered some topsoil from our local garden centre who are doing local delivery.
5. I played a game of Bananagrams by myself! I love Bananagrams!
6. Finished my Tasha Alexander book which was great!
7. Lovely letter and seeds through the post from Sophie today! Tomato plants!!!
8. Had a fun game of Swingball with CBC yesterday which was fun!
9. My sister called me back today and we had a lovely chat of over an hour. Oh how wonderful it was to have that time with her- it's so rare for that to happen. We both thoroughly enjoyed the time!
10. For the sleep I got!
11. For having a job where my income is secure. So grateful that I am so far, not having to worry about my income whereas I know others are in a more precarious situation.
12. For having such a spacious home.
13. For our TV- so glad we bought it at Christmas. I was worried it was a lot of money to spend but it has been really useful.

And now onto an outfit.
Last Sunday, feeling worried and scared, before my church service online, I donned a collection of rainbowy and brightly coloured clothes.

My hope and trust is in God right now- he's saving me from panic, especially with anxiety about health, but I am glad for rainbows too- after all, those were the original symbol of hope from God all those years ago!

And now onto an outfit.
Last Sunday, feeling worried and scared, before my church service online, I donned a collection of rainbowy and brightly coloured clothes.
This green t-shirt has been a firm favourite since I bought it from H&M last year. The fluffy mustard cardigan was a present from my in-laws 4 years ago.
I love my Zara embroidered velvet joggers- I totally copied Anna when I bought these- but managed to get them second-hand when they were still new in the shops!
My red beret and Clarks desert boots were also charity-shop purchases over the years.
What about accessories?
Well, my earrings and star brooch were from Lorelai LQ and my beautiful necklace is from Smile and Make. I was one of the lucky first few to own this necklace!
