Last week I caught up with an old friend. She is the kind of friend I only think about fondly and have the most fun, crazy and random stories about us. Naturally I was excited to meet her and on the day I saw her she was looking as beautiful as every other time I had seen her. Then she told me something had happened to her, and in that moment everything changed.
Listening to her story rocked my core and I experienced a feeling I have never felt, one I can't even properly explain. This was my friend! She still looked the same, she even smelled the same - but everything was different. There are times/moments in life that ground you and make you realise (because we can all lose sight) that life truly is a gift. This was one of those times. I opened this year speaking positivity and gratefulness into existence and whilst that is still the path I am on, it is very easy to get distracted by life and forget how blessed you are.

I encourage you to count your blessings and look for the positive in everything you do and every day you get to spend on this earth. Remember, your very existence is a blessing to someone and even a bad day has its blessings, you might just have to look a bit harder. We so easily compare and complain, when praise and positivity are much better options. To have your health, family, friends these are the biggest blessings, count them everyday.
I don't have the words to articulate how I feel or what I would like to say to my friend. But if you are reading this, this one is for you babe, your strength, courage and resilience are inspring. YOU are an inspiration I will forever be in awe of you. From the bottom of my heart I wish you health and happiness. Love you, L xxx
