    Friday Fab 5s: Friday 17 November 2023

    It’s FRIDAY! And the year is just whizzing by! Good news though, it’s only 38 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS *sorry, not sorry*.

    So…….. it’s time for me to ask the most important question you’ll have heard this week……. *cue streamers and confetti (purple colours obviously)*:

    WHAT 5 THINGS (more or less) HAVE FILLED YOUR HEART WITH JOY THIS WEEK?

    You don’t have to have completed an Ironman competition, enjoying ‘Ironman’ with Robert Downey Jr is just as awesome!

    And pleeease remember, NO NEGATIVES as they will be removed.

    Mine to get you going:

    - I’ve managed to get ahead with my study
    - started writing my second assignment
    - spent a lot of time doing my cross stitch
    - hubby’s been away (in Dubai) and I’ve survived
    - HE COMES HOME TODAY

    Your turn:
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    You know that’s not me! I ‘challenged’ him to bring me back my favourite perfume

    ~ Survived a difficult week without turning to destructive behaviours.
    ~ Lots of puppy cuddles with Talia.
    ~ Did a “big shop” for the first time in over a year.
    ~ Watching Season 2 of Loki.
    ~ Sticking my headphones on and losing myself in music and podcasts.

    • Friday coffee morning at the park.
    • Classical Music.
    • Video games.
    77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"
