Hi @Pauly

What gets me going in the morning is tea and tablets in bed, then checking the Community while the meds start working. There is always something uplifting, informative or that gives me a smile!

I wonder what others will say

What keeps me going is plenty of strong tea, morphine and my cat!

When you can't marvel in the mountains, revel in the valleys, paddle in the streams, or potter in the garden. There's joy to be had in all of them. But on a really bad day, tea and peanut butter on toast will eventually prise me out of bed.
