There is a light at the end of every tunnel we go through. Metaphorically as well as literally. When you struggle to get out of bed in the morning, or when you are stressed, and it seems the seconds are endless, it is difficult.

I remember a colleague saying to her students, this soon will pass, when talking about their GCSE exams. Her teaching style always gave them a reason to behave and listen. She even spoke about her classes dancing, as they did in Macbeth’s era.

Attending a zoom (writing) group, the other evening was great. The lady running it talked about finding the joy . At least once. It could be ringing a friend, doing arts and crafts, baking a cake, laughing with family, walking the dog. She said to put three hundred and sixty-five notes in a jar and select without looking.

Today, I went to my local theatre to enquire about volunteering. Being a creative person, watching a performance; brilliant. The job is manning the doors when the event starts. My grin didn’t stop. Starting slow, only a couple of days a week. When I do eventually retire, I am going to have experience doing something else.

So, a question I am asking you wonderful bloggers is – what joy would you pick?

I am a fifty something mother of two grown up children, and one beautiful grandchild. I have been married for nearly thirty-four years. My first book was published ten years ago. I wrote my book Sticks and Stones because of my experience of being bullied at school.
