My 2 teens both had 2 days off school and college last week, full of colds and headache, not nice. January, not a popular month for anyone it seems. Too cold, wet and gloomy. I hope February brings more cheerful weather for you, it certainly looks more pleasant behind the glass, sunny and warm.

I am enjoying the lengthening days, closing the curtains a little later each day now.

Yes, into February now, lighter evenings and although it's cold, spring will soon be here. I also had early nights and read in bed in January. I'm very much light-led and when it gets dark I just want to curl up and go to sleep like animals do!

And it seems so trivial, but those little treats really do make a difference - fresh white roses on the mantel today.<br />Thankfully Lily is feeling much better now, but it would appear she has passed the germs on to me! There was no way I was going to rush her back to school though.

Time is precious and if we can stop ourselves wishing it away because we're reminded of past events then surely that must be good for our general wellbeing. I'm glad you are putting yourself 'up there'. I'm not sure any wife or mother ever makes the number 1 position but at least being on the list helps :) Little treats are good and reinforce to ourselves we are worth thinking about. <br /><br />Glad to hear Lily is better. I don't know when fresh air and rest stopped being prescribed but I wish it would make a come back. There's a lot to be said for convalescence rather than rushing back to school or work. xx Everyday life at Number 38https://www.blogger.com/profile/12945846951398052455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564665415681304577.post-59033813292761068862018-02-04T16:31:00.095+00:002018-02-04T16:31:00.095+00:00Hi Jules, it is hard not to dwell on past events, ...Hi Jules, it is hard not to dwell on past events, but I am so pleased you have had a good start to the year, long may it continue. xxSimple Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884864661226371141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564665415681304577.post-3938826747244400442018-02-04T15:10:20.828+00:002018-02-04T15:10:20.828+00:00Thank you Jayne.
