I always think I am a very positive person. I try and be upbeat about things and never, ever dwell on negative thoughts. If they start to creep into my mind I get up and walk about and do things until they are gone. However the specialist stroke nurse who visited my Dad yesterday was a step beyond what most people could dream of in positive thinking. By the time she left after two hours of talking I think my Dad was starting to think he will be a healthier man after the stroke than before! A young Hungarian woman, she was kind, funny and straightforward. The day she left Hungary to come and work in this country was a good day for the NHS. It had been a complete pleasure to meet her and at the end of a stressful week she was just what we needed.
Although it was even later when I arrived home yesterday evening and Tom had already left for work again I definitely felt brighter. Better weather is on the way. I may even be able to catch up with a bit of gardening and the dogs can have a few nice long walks. I have been admiring the crab apples this year on our little crab apple tree I bought in Morrisons a few years ago and may finally get round to picking them, if they haven't started to rot, and making some crab apple jelly.
There is a big vote going on in parliament today, but I am just sick of it all. I'm going to get on with my little life and try not to turn the TV on. Have a great day everyone what ever you are doing. xx
