...

So, I have been notably absent for the past few weeks and to be honest I have not really felt like sharing.

A few things have happened that have made me reevaluate. The main one being a beautiful, funny, loving friend died and it has really shaken me, she was 36 with two young children, a loving family and everything to live for. She was a ray of sunshine to everyone she met which was reflected in the hundreds and hundreds of people at her funeral.

I have lots of happy memories but one of the big things she has given me is the realisation that life is for enjoying and making the most of (cliché, I know!)...
...and a smile can get you a lot further than a frown.
