I am thankful for old friends.
Claire and Kris enjoying a seafood platter on the final day of our long weekend.

We've had such an amazing weekend on the Gold Coast - massages, water sliding, good food eating, movie watching, luxurious sleeping, beach walking. My spirits feel boosted and my outlook more positive. It was a great reminder that life is what you make of it and that there are many joys to be had.

And none of it would've happened without my friend of 30 years, Claire, and her partner Kris. Claire knows me as well as I know myself and knows what I need without having to ask. This is truly a special friend.

I am blessed to have them, and my amazing husband, in my life.
