Both the Living with incurable cancer n the Melanoma groups have recently started up a thread based on the idea of listing 3 good things (at the end of ) each day. It's rather like the idea of using a gratitude journal, but is easier n quicker to do. It also focusses the mind.
Mine for today -
Lol @ your phlebotomist comment Buttercup 
My 3 things today
1. My brother called in for a brew and a chat
2. Cooked a chicken dinner
3. Entered my 3 good things early today because I'm going to be good tonight and read when I go to bed rather than play on my mobile lol
I did manage my 3rd good thing and I read my book when I came to bed 
howevvvver..I just had to check in with you guys before I turned the light off xx Aw buttercup, are your family very far away? Hope I didnt upset you xx Both my brother and my sister live about 5 minutes away. My eldest son is 10 mins away, my other son 20 mins away. My nephew is a little further...New Zealand xx
Tonight I actually got to page 29 of Dissolution by C J Sansom. First book Ive properly managed to settle down to read this year. Its a murder mystery set in 1537, the time of Henry v111. Looking forward to an early night with this book tomorrow
Xx Buttercup. I'm lucky that my boys are near. My sis-in-law has a son who lives in New Zealand. That must be very hard. At least theres t'internet now to be able to keep close. I remember the days when the only way was via airmail which used to take weeks 
Ive not heard of C J Sansom before this book, my sis -in-law, who came to stay over a couple of days ago, bought it in a charity shop here and left it for me to read when she went home. Will have to look into Susanna Gregory too

My 3 good things today...
1. Had a phonecall from one of my sons to check up on me. He has a cold so thought it best not to come over.
2. Spoke to my grandaughter (4) also has a cold, she told me she was eating raisins and apparently held them up to the phone to show me lol
3. My grandsons footie team won 8-4 but he was sad he hadnt scored. I told him that even the best footballers in the whole world ever didnt score in every game, he seemed quite happy with that
