I should be so lucky...

Best friends, dear friends, loved ones. There are so many people in life you come in touch with, you build bonds with and you make a choice. A choice on whether to see them again and build on those foundations or to let it pass on by.

I guess I am one of the former. One whom takes those friends and makes them into something special. I am so lucky to have so many dear dear friends. Some so close you can rely on them no matter what. Ones that will love you through thick or thin.

Sometimes I forget in my stressfull life, with the woes of work, recession and war in Afghanistan how lucky I am. To have such wonderful friends, to be lucky at work to actually enjoy my work and most of all, to have such a loving wonderful husband whom I adore.

I often have my friends tell me how lucky I am to have someone to come home to and to love and take care of me. You know what, I am. I don't always think about it but occasionally you have to recognise how much of a lucky bitch (Lucky Bitches) I am.

I guess what I need to do is actually reflect on my own life more and appreciate what I have. Thank you to everyone who'm is dear. Especially those that have been there and are always there no matter what. Life may be a chore at times and be hard to get through the odd day but when the worst is thrown at you, those very friends were there as my backbone of life.

Someone, you know who you are, once taught me that if the man I loved was worth fighting for I should fight fight fight until I either have my man or die trying. Well it wasn't easy, it took years of fighting with immigration and the powers that be but eventually we were allowed to be together and true love is absolutely a wonderful thing.

This weekend having watched the whole of X Factor I found myself singing the Roy Orbison hit, Crying. It was my stalwart of songs to sing in the shower along with Living is without you. I no longer sing that so what does that say? I found my man, I am no longer crying and my friends, my life is great. Thank you all for being a part of it and rock on the weekned. She's back. The return of DTPM!
