I am aware that I may sound like a moaning, miserable person through my posts. But I have good news that has made me happy. My support worker said the NAS can increase my support hours and my dad agreed to help me fund it. Next week on Friday my support worker is taking me for a 4 hour session to go out to the Surrey countryside. Apparently it only takes half an hour to get there so we will have about three hours of wandering through the paths and walkways. I love nature and the countryside.

Also I am hopefully seeing the neurophthalmologist soon about my visual processing problems.

And I've got voluntary work over the summer which I will be working from home on. I will be helping someone design a website for the uni disability services.

Good news then.

Thanks, and I got 77.5% in a recent highly important test - that's well into a First Class mark! I am experiencing happiness.

If you liked hugs, I'd give you a hug right now!

You need to feel happy sometimes!

Thanks. Happiness feels good, I haven't experienced it properly for ages.

Being out in nature always makes me happy --it has amazing restorative qualities. I hope you have a great outing!

You had a mild winter in England--so there's probably lots of flowers blooming now.

Yes a great deal of blooming flowers. My street is lined with cherry blossom trees.

This is really good news, I'm happy for you. The spring plants are beginning to bloom where I am in the UK, and I'm slightly further north than you, so you should have a lovely day out in the countryside next week - it'll do you good. And the summer job sounds excellent, I hope it goes well.

I live (kinda) near you. We do have some great countryside and parks on our doorsteps. Enjoy!

Very good news!
Spending some time outside of city can be very good.
