Friends Confirmed....

It's true - when you have a worrying time in your life, your true friends are the ones that are there for you.

Haven't I found that out in the last fortnight!

Did I really need to confirm this - no, not really.
There have been a few that knew what was happening with Small Man, and didn't even bother to ring/ msg /or email me........

But to those that have maintained constant contact - thank you.
Even though none of you will ever actually read this - I give so many thanks to the universe for each of you.

Sure makes the Xmas card list easier this year - he he!

I think back to some years ago when I couldn't handle the thought of being alone, in the 'spending time alone' sense - and now sometimes I long for it.....I have found solitude a balancing time, rather than climbing the walls for company. Maybe we get more secure in this way when we get very old like me (he he!).

Speaking of company, my 20 year school reunion is coming up on the 17th November - OMG - the memories.......the fear......the 'what ifs'.........
I really only have contact with three friends from school, only one was in my year......
I'm going, I'm actually looking forward to it......and I think everyone will be feeling the same.
I just hope a lot of 'baggage' is left at the door, and the night is about catching up with each other, rather than a big 'dragging up of the past' episode.

I was a little bit wild in High School, well different to 99% of the other girls anyway. I had my own style that was semi goth/'EMO' (as they call it these days)- and was a bit old for my age. I moved out of home at 16 to come up to 'town' and work, and didn't go back. Looking back I was far too young to be out on my own, but didn't want to be stuck in a small town with all the horrendous gossip and lack of opportunity (for me any way). I made a lot of mistakes back then, and had a lot of emotional issues - but accept it was all part of my life's journey, and there are few I regret.

Ironically I met The Big A - who was in Tassie studying air traffic control -(that kinda went wrong), and he ended up staying here, with me, and working at the very place that my Dad worked for 25 years, my Mum worked there too for a few years, I went there for work experience, my brother works there, and so does my Step Father...in the very town I was running from.......!!!!

Hi 'Bewinda' - hope you got a chance to check in and read my blog over the weekend - G xxx

Better go - roasts to cook, clothes to throw in the dryer to make it look like I iron!!!!!
