This is a great thread! So encouraging and uplifting to read through it (although I skipped a few pages here and there... ) When I'm down I try to focus on all the good things in life, and I try to realise that most things could be so much worse than they actually are. Most of the time I find that there really is a lot of good to be thankful for. And for me that makes hard times easier to bear.
Another trick is to imagine myself out in the garden in spring. At least during the winter that brightens up any day and lightens any dark thought! A good, long walk in the forest always tend to help too, all year round.
Well done, Johannele, focus on the good things, I have two lovely children, two little grandsons and two big grown up step grandsons. A lovely partner and live in a beautiful place. I have enough money to spend on food and the garden, I have some lovely internet friends, when you start thinking about it, I am sure there are as many good things as bad, if not more.
Plus, you are going to have a lovely holiday in England, by the time you have planned it all it will be time to pack.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
I used to breed those silkies in all of the colours, they make wonderful brooders, will sit on anyones eggs. Very placid and make good pets for children, (only if you are an experienced hen keeper, I must add)

They're really cute and funny, but I still think they look a little ridiculous (In a funny, endearing way)! Just this tiny beak poking out from a ton of feathers, haha! I'd love to keep chickens, really would, but OH wants a cat by the time we find ourselves in a house. I see an issue there!

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Yes Lyn, isn't it great to have all those good things in your life, and probably even more, smaller ones too!
I really think our holiday will be fabulous, I look forward to it so much!

Which reminds me, an equally ridiculous animal-
