Hi again world,
I can't believe how bad I am at this blogging thing.
I have no idea if anyone ever checks it, as they can catch up with me on face book!
This year has seen a few changes, but I think they are mostly good ones.
I've decided that I need to distance myself from people who bring me down, dismiss my ideas as nothing & in general make me feel bad when I'm around them.
It's bizarre how relationships in life can be so weird, but I think that real relationships, friendships etc, should be reasonably easy...flow along etc.
I think of the friends I grew up with.... I can not talk to them for months & months & then we call each other & comfortably continue where we left off. Comfort. I don't think that all good relationships are meant to be easy, but I like the word comfortable.
My new friends, they don't know my past, they can't even imagine me as a rebellious teenager to the extent that I was. So they are like new clothes that I pick for myself. Sometimes they don't fit properly & you need to try something else. Some of them are beautiful & fit well, make you feel good & important.
Then there's the 'Pyjama friends'. My friends that I grew up with, the friends who went through my rebellious stage of life & still loved me. The ones that we share each others deepest darkest secrets with. They are my Pyjama friends.....you know, your favourite flannelette jammies that you can just relax with, the most comfortable item of clothing you own.
You what is so beautiful about this? I don't have just one Pyjama friend...I have 3.
I have some 'new shoe' friends that looked like a great pair of shoes, but then I realised I shouldn't have got heels, they just aren't me.
Then there's the friends I made 'accidentally' when through amazing circumstances we ended up 'shopping at the same store', we found each other unexpectedly, but it seems they are new 'Pyjama friends'. They aren't like the fave comfortable ones yet, but there are more of them that are more 'worn in' then I thought.
When I look at them, they know how I'm feeling & understand me. We are there for each other & honest with each other.
I love all my friends, but I adore adore adore my Pyjama friends.
Oh my hubby & my Chillies, beautiful, amazing family I have.
I am so grateful everyday for them. I am so blessed to have the most amazing children & husband. I have the best family in the world. My parents are the most beautiful people, they are kind, thoughtful & caring & always there for all of us, no matter what.
My brother, his wife, my niece & nephew....beautiful people.
I can't wait to see them all! I miss my parents & my brother,sis-in law & their babies more then words can say.
I have the best family in the world & the best friends in the world & the best husband....yep, definately the best husband in the universe. He's just beautiful to me, Jarod, Ben & Grace.
I am happy & I love my life.

It sometimes takes a hurt in one place to see what you really have
