Some friends listen and hear you, even when you're not
talking. Try to listen to yourself and others, be the good friend you wished
you had more of. Beverley Longsden
Me half asleep – not at all ;-) I rarely sleep to my 5am
alarm but then I rarely have to have it set on a Friday but when it went off
this morning it startled me, add that to I had pins and needles in my arm and
this is what happened next – I dropped the alarm clock on the floor, picked it
up and thought I’d broken it because it was saying 20:5 and when I was flicking
the off switch it was still buzzing! Took
me a good minute to realise I had the clock upside down and was flicking the
wrong switch!
So I’ve got my mug of tea now and I’m more awake, and
about to get ready for a long busy day.
Well I spent a bit of time thinking yesterday about what
I could suggest we make Friday, I came up with a few ideas, but none that
really grabbed me, then last night I received an email from a beautiful lady
who’s had a tough few months and she gave me the suggestion, 'Friends
Friday' because you really do appreciate what they mean to you and without your
friends support whether it be encouraging you to stay on the straight and
narrow ( by avoiding chocolate or wine!) or making wise choices, or just being
there when things are not going as well as you hoped. Where would you be
without them? (Those are her words)
And isn’t she right, where would we be without our friends, I always say
Weight Watchers works because of the group support and it’s true. Life works because of the people
support! My friends mean the word to me
and I’d do anything for them, unfortunately I don’t get to see them everyday
because of the distance between our homes and also because we’re all very busy
people and that’s why I love technology, when I broke my phone a couple of
weeks ago – it wasn’t the £200 to fix it that bothered me, it was the fact I
couldn’t natter with my mate on it! I love how when, like yesterday, I’m ranting
about something that’s really unimportant and ridiculous (and whilst I’m doing
it I even know it’s pathetic) that my bestie rants away with me by text even
though I know she’s thinking “get a grip you daft mare” ;-)
Yes today can be ‘Friends Friday’, which we’ll interpret as doing
anything friend based – that’s really vague, but suggestions could include
having some fun with one of them, calling one up and having a good natter if
you haven’t for a while, just telling them how important they are to you – just
do something that reminds you how special and precious your friends are to
you. Oh and if my friends reading this,
do not help me stay on the straight and narrow by keeping me off the wine or we
may become unfriends ;-!
One of the most important friends you’ll ever have after your mother and
your bestie is yourself, so maybe that could be the friend you make Friday
about, go take care of you for a change.
I’m going to start my day like that, I have such a busy day but I’m
going to start it with a 20 minute bubble bath to get me clean and ready, I can’t
rush until 6.30 today, need this slowish start to prepare me!
So here’s to ‘Friend Friday’, feel and share the love today.
Thank you my FRIENDS. Xx
