Friends Forever

Well Hubby is cooking my Saturday Night meal, offspring are content watching television, Humphrey Hamster isn't awake yet, so maybe I shall sit down with you guys for a while with my glass of Cava.  Cheers, hope your evening is going well.  

We have new neighbours, and we have kind of breathed a sigh of relief as they seem ok!  It's always a worry isn't it??!  

Doesn't seem like Dan's girlfriend is coming round tonight, not that he seems too bothered!  Girlfriend. Where has the time gone?  Yes, this last couple of weeks has been a new experience for me and my palpatations (that should be my palpatations and I)  ... allowing him to wander aimlessly around the village!!  I'm sure the people who know me here in the village are in total shock, as Suzie has probably also been spotted enjoying some freedom with her group of friends!!  Both of them out and about.. there is probably a rumour that I am quite unwell!!  I am actually really pleased for Suzie.  It has been a long time coming.. but she has found herself amongst a very nice group of friends.  There was a suggestion last week that they would go for a picnic on a mountain in the next village.  I tried so hard to let her go, but I couldn't allow it.  She was understandably upset.  I was blown away when she said that the group had decided to change plans and have the picnic somewhere closer to here, so that she could go. I am extremely happy that they value her friendship so much.  

Speaking of valuing friendship, I admit there is a need to push myself out of my comfort zone.  Did I mention that Hubby had sadly lost his father last June?  Well Christmas time was rather difficult for him as the realisation kind of hit home.  He was not himself and I had no-one but the children to turn to.  I was so worried, it hurt so much, I couldn't eat or sleep.  They were fantastic and I will always be thankful, but what I need to do is give a little more of myself to the good friends that I have.. spend a little more time, text a few more messages, suggest a few more outings and sort the parking the hell out so that I am confident when we go somewhere!! (I always have to make sure that where-ever I drive, there will be somewhere I can park ok!)  Seriously, I don't have many friends but those that I have are genuine and I intend to  make more of an effort to let them know they are valued.  

Cheers ...
