1. Receiving a lovely card from someone who is not in the best of health themselves. I really appreciate that. Thank you. smile.gif

2. Managing to walk to the end of my road and back. It took me half an hour ( ohmy.gif ) instead of five minutes, but at least I did it.

3. Going out for a short drive with my sister.

4. Managing one piece on the piano

Progress is being made, slow but sure! party1.gif

Be careful, its by thinking you're old you become it! smile.gif

I'm happy because I managed to have a decent conversation with one of my new housemates for next year. I hardly know his at all, so its something of a relief to have him here to drop off his stuff and check that he's human! blush.gif I like the process of getting to know new people, what they're proud of, worry about, history etc... (Or maybe I'm just nosy...)

Even happier that my boyfriend is coming down for a bit tomorrow. Its been a month without him now. wub.gif

Singing in a concert made me happy today! biggrin.gif It went quite well and I managed to get into the flow of it relatively quickly and relax enough to enjoy myself! smile.gif Progress! smile.gif Perhaps I didn't look as much like a rabbit caught in the headlines today! blush.gif Inspired to ask my singing teacher whether I can do a little solo bit in a piece of music or something small on my own when she organizes her choir's next concert.... otherwise the idea of singing on my own might get built into something massive and scary when it needn't be.
