Great things that happen.

We all need some positivity at the moment. What are the great things that have happened to you, big or small.
I will start. We are at Hanada airport flying home after a great holiday in Japan. Premium Economy is over booked so BA bumped us up to Business Class.
What is your great thing

    That’s hard to beat. Safe travels home.

    The barista at my local coffee shop gave me a free pastry with my coffee yesterday.

    We've just been sent free tickets to see Miss Saigon tonight, friends can't go as their kids are poorly.

    We are travelling and on Thursday I dropped the motel door key card at a restaurant and when I went back it was still there. Black card on a black floor helped.
    Today the car started to give messages about needing more petrol, but we made the 50 ks on the Hay plain to the next petrol station.

    I have a working washing machine! I was given a washing machine (the lady who owned it was moving to live with her daughter), so I contacted a plumber who had done work for me before, and he said he'd come round....
    Two months later, I asked another plumber I know - he gets his plumbing supply parcels delivered to our shop, because we're always there to take them in - and again, he said he'd come round....
    This didn't really matter, because the launderette is just up the road - but then their boiler blew up! So I really was stuck.
    I wrote a pathetic little note and stuck it on the latest parcel - and, bless him, he came round the next day and sorted everything out!

    Small things every day. We only moved here three years ago but feel so settled with so many lovely friends.

    Blessed indeed.

    I have been ill, and my dear daughter-in-law has come to stay with me for several days and has been a second set of eyes and ears to my doctor visits. We were able to gain her access to all future medical records. I feel so much better having someone knowledgeable to help me make medical decisions. As an added blessing, I enjoy her company.

    My son and I had to go get the Christmas tree on our own, as Mr Lamb is helping a friend who had a major car accident. We needed a small tree that could fit on the table, and I had doubts about the one we chose, but when we got it set up, the top came to within an inch below the ceiling. So thankful. I really didn't want to get the saw out!

    We may be on the move early next year and there's a plant in our garden that is of great sentimental value to me. I was planning to take it with us but it looked as though it had died. However, when I looked at it yesterday there were some tiny new shoots just showing above the ground after all. I took this as a positive sign.

    Our local Facebook Hub is often a source of useful info, and most posters on it are decent people.
    Recently there have been posts about a couple made homeless through no fault of their own. Within days, people have found them a caravan, warm bedding, a TV and covered their immediate needs. Someone has offered to deliver them a cooked Christmas dinner. Others are looking for work for them.
    Of course there have been a few negative posters, but the vast majority have supported this couple. I am so glad I live in a community where people are made welcome.
