freinds

This afternoon we had the privilege of spending some time with the loveliest of friends, and they reminded me that I don't write on here often enough. I'd been having a few things running round the back of my brain that I wanted to write, but I couldn't quite work out how. I'm going to write about those things some other time because right now I want to pay tribute to fab friends. There are some people I spend time with that are just draining. I leave time in their company feeling like I need to sleep for a week. Some people, however, are the complete opposite. Time spent in their company really energises. I might be having a rubbish day, but seeing them picks me right up. And so when Mrs R rang this week to see what we were doing today, despite being at a noon wedding and the evening reception (normally enough to see me off in one day) I jumped at the chance of meeting for coffee. Because these are friends that energise, whose company is easy and fun. Seeing Mr and Mrs R and their heavenly child has added to my day, not left me heading for bed. These are the kinds of friends that aid my recovery. I have not found many people that this is true of, a few people in our home town, and a few friends from my old home town. I am extremely grateful for each and every one of them. I would be more poorly without them in my life.
