Today's Joy is this old cat. He's spent the day in my lap today, with a short break to lie in the sun and allow me to eat lunch. I've had him for 22 years, and he's a real sweetheart.

Today's Joy is Petrichor. The smell that you get during or after rain, where there's a lot of moisture still in the air.
Today's Joy is the feeling when someone I'm working with - training or mentoring or answering their question - gets it and you see their eyes light up with understanding. I really enjoy helping others, and that lightbulb moment makes any number of little frustrations worth it.
Five days in to ankle rehab and although I've still got a wicked purple cankle, I'm able to hobble around my kitchen. Baking bread today was soothing for the soul. What's more, my Dad and step mum are on the next ferry and I cannot wait for the big familial bear hugs that are coming my way.

Busy day today, trying to get ready for an imminent visit by parents. It's been tricky as I'm still on crutches but some #DailyJoy to be gained from my left foot being able to touch down a little and bear some tentative weight. This progress has given me access to my garden and some optimism for the days ahead.
Wally fetched me home and there's so much joy in that I don't know where to begin. I'm starting with these two comedians, who always bring me #DailyJoy.
I'm three days into ankle rehab and weight bearing is still not really an option but the neoprene support I ordered online was waiting for me when I got home and it has made things a lot more comfy.
Today's #DailyJoy is people. All the lovely people who have worked hard to keep the wheels on while mine came off. Colleagues, mountain rescue team members, friends, and my lovely husband Wally who got a train down to the Lake District to fetch me and my van. Onwards and upwards.

I'm inspired by lovely supportive friends including Becki who sent me this awesome rehab advice in the link (O is for Optimism), and also Kate Worthington of Raw adventures who told me about her #DailyJoy strategy for recovering from illness/injury. I'm starting a #DailyJoy trend right here. Feel free to join me!
Yesterday's #DailyJoy was snuggling on the sofa with Meg and Bo, Sharon and @GrahamUney 's lovely labradors.
