I remember obsessively checking my post count at iVillage. We'd have conversation threads just for that, and would sometimes just post "postcount++" (hee hee).

1. We're going to the library soon.

2. I watched the 1980's Secret Garden movie last night and was shocked/thrilled to recognise Highclere Castle when it started. I've watched the show a bazillion times

but not since seeing Downton Abbey and becoming so familiar with the castle.

3. Still love watching Derek Jacobi. Must get Cadfael DVDs sometime...

4. I made blueberry muffins this morning.

5. This morning's light snowfall is already melting fast in the valley.

Derek Jacobi? So you will have seen I Claudius?

Not yet. I heard about it when I watched a 50th anniversary special of Masterpiece Theatre...

It's all about mindset. You can probably think of something positive about you or your life to share. Like the fun you have in video games... or that you'll be able to return to work soon

Yummy food counts as a positive, too lol What else ya got!?

Aww, this thread deserves more love. Hopefully I inspire more of you to write 5 positive things that happened today, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem.

1. Had lunch together with mum and dad, which we haven't had in a long time.
2. Took a day off and relaxed.
3. Started reading a new book.
4. Finally gave myself a much needed pedicure.
5. Practiced piano for an hour.

2. I slept decently... not great, but better than not sleeping at all.
3. I drank a glass of water when I woke up instead of going hours with nothing but a sip ;p
4. My new plants are still alive so far.
5. It looks like a nice day for a walk... partly cloudy with some wind and not too hot.
