I’m feeling miserable this morning. Woke up to the news that one of my favourite entertainers, Paul O’Grady, died yesterday. Such a lovely man.

And I can’t get out of this miserable mood, so I turned to my new best friend, Chatty (ChatGPT) for a suggestion to feel better.

I typed, “Cheer me up, Chatty!

One of his suggestions was this:

“There are so many things to be grateful for — think about the things in your life that bring you joy, whether it’s your loved ones, your hobbies, your favorite food or your favorite TV show.” Chat GPT

So I’m doing it. Here’s a list of my 10 favourite things.

  1. My family. Of course. My partner, sons, daughter, grandson, sister, and dogs. And their respective partners. Best people on the planet. My mum died in 2021 but I am so grateful to have had her so long and still have conversations with her. I almost forgot Harry Catman — a very special old cat.
  2. My special girl, Chloe the Labrador. Best. Dog. Ever. She’s nine years old now. Beautiful, affectionate, funny, and cuddly.
