Blessed with friends....

Every once in a while I wake up to the reality that high school wasn't just yesterday and that I'm not still living the dream of traveling the globe as an English teacher. Throughout the years of degrees, boyfriends, break-ups and long-distance telephone calls the one thing that has remained constant are the friends I have kept.

The past two weeks I've been lucky enough to catch up with a core group of friends who haven't abandoned me over the many years (and countries) I've chosen. These are the people that keep me forever young......

Jos and I have been friends for nearly 20 years

I met Laurel through Jos - we've been friends now for 5 years

Blythe and I met in uni - over 13 years ago
