f is for .....fabulous friends
Where to begin with this post , it is both happy and sad for me to write. I will keep the reason for the sad thoughts to myself but will instead tell you what the saddness led too.
At christmas time something very sad happened in my life, this led me to much soul searching as such things always do. During all the reflection I was obviously not at my best and my fabulous friends of course picked up on this.
You cannot take away someone elses saddness that comes with time and their own efforts but what you can do is listen, empathise and offer them hope. Because that was one of the things that dissappeared with the tears.
Each of my friends did all these for me and found different ways to bring hope back into my life. These were some of the things they did:
- kept in touch
- gave me hugs
- shared the wine
- cooked gorgeous food
- went for walks with me
- made me laugh
- sent me seeds in the post so that my garden will look beautiful
- invited me for a laid back retreat at their cottage in one of the most beautiful parts of this country
- booked a wonderful few days in Barcelona as a special birthday treat
Oh and many more things too, the important thing out of all this is knowing that people really care for you even when you cant gi ve much back. And the small gestures are just as important as the big ones.
I have written this bold and pretty so they know I am "back".
So thankyou lovely people you know who you are. xxx
