A Special Christmas and New Year
This year many of you have been able to get home, travel to family and friends and really have that proper Christmas finally after the Pandemic of Covid-19.
Amidst the depressing news in the UK of strikes, extreme bad weather, freezing temperatures, the energy crisis, and lack of food on the shelves I feel proud of the determination of my fellow friends and family to have
that truly magical time the last couple of years have not allowed.
Here in Spain the bills have gradually increased, and we have noticed certain foods and drinks are creeping up however, we are blessed with sunshine during the days at around 18 to 19 degrees. This is a blessing as we can get out and about, sit outside comfortably, gain our vital vitamin D, and the sunshine makes everyone smile and generally feel better and blessed.
Staying Positive
We must stay in a positive frame of mind even though the news does not seem so. The simple things in life are usually the most enjoyable. Visit a neighbour and pop in to wish them a Happy New Year or even better take a nice cake to stop and have tea or coffee……time is free!
Get out walking or sit outside for at least 30 minutes a day and embrace the sunshine to make your mood and get your dose of vitamin D. If you are unable to walk unassisted then we are a call away! Our team will deliver all aspects of care and companionship from 1 hour to 24 hours a day.
