Friendships

 

After a after having a lie in this morning Simon suggested to go the movie Project Hail Mary which he gone to last week & loved it. I am not really a science fiction type of girl but Simon said it was more about friendships sci-fi or space.

That made me think about what I'm doing with my blogging and how that actually started from friendship.

It back in November 2000 I had moved to Wellington from Auckland and to get to know people was kind of difficult. At the time one of the dating website was free to use end initially it was how I meet new friends.  

Over the year I went to events, including barbecues and I even helps organise a singles night.  A couple of the people that I meet there with woman who also met their partners through the site. I meet Simon that same site.

Every time if I think about my friends growing up my head some good close friends but we all seem to drift it apart for the most part and our 20s. I still have a few from the younger years but are overseas or just life in general we haven't caught up for years.

In my mid 20s I had a couple of great flat mates, but I met Kathy a WW meeting in my first day. Kathy became my bestie. Died approx. 23 years ago.

Other friendships have always been very varied, mainly due to getting my face computer and my flat mates at the time introduce ICQ and MSN messenger.  I went on to create to weight loss blogging and still have connections with that time. 

I was really after yesterday's post Some of the people here had find me years ago reached out and sent me some personal messages which was lovely.

Season in my life - reboot

I've been thinking from the last couple of weeks about restarting my blog. There are quite a few reasons from why I decided to update it.

•Have routines, included bedtimes. 
•Mainly a little bit of purpose tor reason to get out of bed.  
•Connect with people 
•Complete the Stuff quiz & Crostic game daily 
•My complete favourite blogs and podcasts. 
•Try some form intentional movement & more exercise. No matter how short.
•Try a new hobby 

 So this is - version of my blog as to highlight life is just a series of seasons.
I thought would finish up with a poem I wrote a couple of years ago.

'A season in my life'

Most people say I'm Strong

But I can't see it.

When I’m out of breath doing simple things,

They can't see it.

You look fantastic, they say,

But I don't see it.

I live in hope, fear and frustration,

As well as love.

Hope all will be alright,

Fear that it will all just happen again.

Frustration that this is as good as it gets.

But those who love me, remind me,

It is just a season in my life.

I know I'll get through this.

Your love & Support,

& a pinch of that strength

You all think I have,

Will get me through to the next season in my life.
