Positives please

Pennywren — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 13:09:14 GMT

So tired of all the negative things that I see everywhere from news reports to tv and social media. Please anyone got something positive to share be it big or small?
My mental health has taken a real battering recently and i want help to get out of this dark hole.
Sorry if this breaks any off topic rules or anything. Juts seeking support 😞

Hi @Pennywren

I`m sure you are not alone in finding the news and social media full of negative reports and comments.

As for something positive, you might like to have at the What made me happy today thread; or check out some of the Christmas On The Community threads where members are sharing what they have planned or looking forward to.

As the name suggests, this is a Community, and hope you find, as I did when I first joined, the members are helpful, friendly and supportive.

I look forward to your posts on whatever you feel you wish to comment on and you enjoy your time on the Community.

Hi @Pennywren

There's quite a few topics on here that are fun. Many of the community play along with word hunt ..put up by @Mi-Amigo

Also as mentioned there is a topic "Whats made me happy today"

Another game is a long running..word association...and one A TO Z on music too.

There are more like ....Your photos..photo where you go anything..post it on the topic.

Start a happy topic of your own...something you enjoy a hobby, many love food, cooking garden, nature , cycling, walking, ❤ 👍

Join in with the o2 community we would welcome your input...bye for now TallTrees

WE help each other out on the community @Pennywren

We can have a rant openly and many of us have been/are dealing with depression or mental issues and it's good to share.

For various reasons Christmas and New Year are a real struggle for me but the good friends I have made on the communnity get me through the really dark times

Chin up @Pennywren you are not alone

Here's something to cheer you @Pennywren

URGENT NEW HOME WANTED !!!!!

This is bella, she’s an 8 week-old German Shepherd puppy. I bought her as a surprise for my wife for Christmas but it turns out she is allergic to dogs so I am now urgently looking to find her a new home. I don't want any money, just free to a good home. I have 44 hours to find her a home.
Her name is Tracy she's 49 years old, a beautiful and caring woman who drives, she is a great cook, good with kids and always keeps a clean house.

Oh @Bambino ... ... Great Yorkshire Belly Laffs at that in my household ie me ... (the boss of the house [cat] is dossing)

And they say American humour does not travel to us 'cousins' across the pond.

What would we do without you Bambino on this community?
