I worry so much about what is happening. I am sure many of us do. But then today I was brought up short. I should be thinking more of the future.
My granddaughter. With her Karate teacher. Who wrote this about her.
This is Neve, officially the best hugger in the WORLD! (see our Instagram post for evidence).
.
She’s also very quiet and at times extremely shy 
.
. .
When Neve first joined us her mum had to join in just to get her to participate and years later they are both still training together 
.
But she’s changed over the years, she’s learned how to become fierce and brave and everyday her confidence builds.
.
This last weekend she led the whole class through Kata and it was one of our proudest moments.
.
Everybody has there own challenges and fears, learning how to conquer them is a huge benefit of martial arts.
.
Keep being awesome Neve, we can’t wait to be able to get another Neve hug again 
.
And I cried tears of joy.
She is the future.
The future should also be about seeing all my grandchildren in the flesh. But if that is not to be they will still achieve their full potential.
So I trundle along. My narrow life takes me to the Prom.
Kids at Surf School. Watching them gain confidence and skills has been awesome.
The future is here with these young people. Please let them grow and not be stopped by the mismanagement by our political leaders of Coronavirus.
Nature is Corvid free. I shall try and be more positive from now on in.

I share your concerns for the future of our young people but then I thought that they will adapt to whatever the future is like, as we and others before us have and it made me feel better.

Lovely picture! Kind words of the karate teacher!
Our schools are closed; we're on lockdown.
Believe it or not, kids (the future) are suspected of being spreaders of the coronavirus.
Beautiful Moon!
What a lovely kind man to write such lovely things about your little granddaughter. He obviously has kept a careful eye on her as she progressed through her karate classes.
Smashing photo of her, too; she really looks the part of a confident little girl doing so well with her teacher.
I agree that we live in dire times, with seemingly nothing much to cheer us or be hopeful about. But yes, we must look for the positives, for the beauty all around us in Nature: birdsong, sunshine, autumn colors, gorgeous views, the freedom to enjoy it, our family and friends; even at a distance they are still there.

Well done to your darling Neve. Long may all your family and others flourish. It is beyond aggravating how people are not following the rules to curb Covid and protect ours and their loved ones. Hugs.
What a lovely post. Good for Neve.
God bless.
Jill, you are right about the narrow lives (we are all living those at present) but you are also right about the youngsters being the future. Let not their lives be blighted by political mismanagement full stop. (Or political hubris)
I have certainly tried to be positive about this terrible virus and the decisions made around it. But of late, I am finding it harder and harder...
What an amazing grand-daughter you have in Neve. That would bring me to tears too. You have much to be proud of and there IS a future for everyone, despite this awful plague.
Lovely photos.
That photograph is beautiful, Neve's stance, her confidence now - it shines out. It should be enlarged and pinned on your wall - it is inspirational. It gives us such hope for the future.
What a lovely tribute to your granddaughter, you and her parents must be so proud.
