I am currently half way through a bottle of red and a fabulous natter with an old friend (well…..she’s not that old…!). ‘Proper’ conversation about the important things…..relationships, sex, travelling and being happy. Well, it’s what we talk about when we get together! Mid sentence I realised I hadn’t written my blog and am on a roll with conversation, food to be cooked, chic flicks to indulge in. So, she has been instructed to light candles while I try to come up with something interesting to say….! So, this is a quickie….

Earlier my friend, whom I shall call Miki, said something funny and I felt myself laugh deeply from my belly and it made me stop and notice. It felt great. I felt deeply myself. Connected and happy. So lovely. Laughter is a brilliant tonic and I swear I do not do it enough. It’s something I think about often but after reading that article yesterday about the regrets of the dying I know I must have much more fun in my life. I need more deep belly laughing. More silliness. More just being ‘me’.

Anyway, today I am incredibly grateful for my friends. I spent the afternoon in the spa with Miki, her sister and mum. A really nice thing to do. A lovely way to spend Saturday afternoon. ‘Shits and giggles’ – not sure where that expression came from but that’s what today is about. Being girls. Chatting nonsense. Perfect. Love it.

And, can I just say, today I feel happy. Really happy. I am glad of it. I feel like I have reached a special point in my life and it’s nice to feel so comfortable in my own skin.

So, I am going to get stuck into the rest of this wine and enjoy a girlie evening.

Hope you are enjoying your evening…..! x

(Note to self – must go see some live comedy….!)
