so i have been away for a while, where have i been?
Well i have been here there and everywhere, i had the opportunity to go watch my home town reach the premier league at Wembly with my partner, i have been working, but most of all i have been spending much needed time with family!
I am going to post at the weekend the meal and smoothie recipes for you and a little insight on how it was at Wembly, but today i am just gong to be doing a little post on some of the things that are important in life.
What is it that is important?, well friends and family for one. First of all its good to have friends, the ones who are always there for you no matter what, the ones that will randomly just message you to ask how you are without you have to message them first, the ones who will ask if you want to meet up for a coffee or to invite you round for a chat and a brew without you having to always try to arrange something and get turned down, the ones who you might not see for ages but when you meet up its like you saw them just yesterday, the ones who know your family may be going through a difficult time but they message you anyway to see how you and everyone else is doing, the ones that are able to pull up the embarrassing photos or tell the funny stories of brilliant memories/events you shared, the ones you can talk to for hours but it feels like 10 minutes, the ones who you trust with your children, basically the ones who are there when you need them, who dont expect you to always be the one to text or call first and to actually make an effort to be your friend and be there.
Family... you always feel family are going to be there, you dont ring or call them all the time and when you bump into each other you chat and laugh and promise to meet up but then life gets in the way, you may be working and sorting the children out and not have enough time in the day to go visiting, they could live far away and you may not drive or not have enough money to go visit, they may even just live round the corner but before you know it months have passed and the visit still hasn't happened. Family are important they are a part of you, you may not get on with all you family but the ones you do its so nice to keep in touch, i'm so bad for keeping in touch with my family, i'm always at my mums but i'm so bad for visiting everyone else, sometimes i'm stubborn and say well they never come to see me at my house so why should i always go and visit their house, or they drive and i dont so its easier for them, but when you think about it that's just a stupid reason,
spend more time with the ones you love........
one more thing i want to add is you may see the cover photo for this post on Instagram or Facebook (if not i will post it below too) and wonder what it has to do with this post, well i feel it fits and here is why, the picture is of woodland, it looks dark maybe even scary to some people, and that is what life is like, sometimes life is dark and scary and you can feel lost, everywhere you turn it can feel like there is no way out, also in the picture is a path, you can be in control and choose which path in life you want to take, the woods can also be a beautiful place full of life and nature, friends and family can help lead you out or you can stand tall and follow the path to your own future.
A lot have things have happened recently in London and Manchester and all over the rest of the world that doesn't get documented on the news, some people dont have the chance to follow their destiny or walk alongside friends and family but to those that do we all need to be there for everyone, offer support and spread the love, life is precious make the most of it!
