a mixed bag...

that's pretty much how today has been...so following on from my post yesterday about other people's news impacting me negatively, i got to wondering if it's a bit of envy or just concern for the business...

not sure i've answered that question for myself yet...but today started well until i got some news from a friend...not sure why exactly i let it derail me, but it did...not so much that i didn't manage to write my presentation for this week or go and do some shopping before my nephew arrives for his birthday...but i didn't manage to also write the article i promised to write today...feel kinda bad but knowing it's a weekend i am sure i can get away with writing it tomorrow...

but the evening started nicely as i'd confessed to a good friend that i was feeling really quite out of sorts, and she called me - we had a good chat - this is someone i've known for 4 years now and we both experienced breakups a few months apart...so since both of our breakups we have spent a lot of time together which i have really enjoyed...in recent months that has slowed up a bit due to both of us being sooo busy...so we had a good long chat, caught up on the news and made plans for next sunday...

one thing i really love about this particular friend is that no matter how sad i feel, a chat with her always brings a smile to my face and no matter how sombre i am feeling, she never judges me for it or advises me to 'get on with it' - you know what i'm talking about right? some people are simply incapable (or perhaps disinterested) in just 'being' with someone when they are having a tough time...

well to you Em, thank you! for being you and for being there...see you next week

nite xx
