There is a Light

I am hijacking todays blog post!

I spoke to my good friend this morning, he was largely the reason that I started this blog – in talking with him about the various places we are at in our lives at the moment I realised a lot of things about myself and a lot of things I maybe needed to work on. I am on one side of the world and he is on another so our chats are generally limited to the typed or skyped kind. I managed to catch a little chat this morning before I had to scamper off with my day in hand – and I then realised too late that it is his birthday today! To make matters worse when I got home there was a wonderful christmas card/letter from him in the postbox.

I am such an awful friend.

My awfulness aside, happy birthday my friend – I feel like I have known you for the longest time and you are both a steady source of comfort and a sounding board for all new adventures. You always have the best things to say when I am down, and the bravest challenges to give me when I am shying from things I shouldn’t be.

You make my life a truly brighter, bolder, better place and I could not be more honoured to call you my friend.

I hope that this new year brings you the right opportunities to push yourself further in the things you are passionate about.I know there have been some struggles, and things that may have seemed like setbacks – but your positive attitude has slowly ground the sharp edges away and I know that these things that seemed prickly will be memorable steps on your path to new blessings.

You are the best kind of person and I know that whatever lies in store for you is absoloutely AMAZING and I hope to share in your joy with you as this new year unfolds.

I am so thankful for the light you shine. You can’t tell right now, but I’m hugging you. Love you.

Ssh!
