Today I met my friend for lunch. He's one of my best friends, more like my little brother.

We first became friends when I was seventeen. He was sixteen and we went to affiliated, neighbouring schools and had a mutual friend.

When we first met, I had no idea that he would become such an important person in my life. It still seem strange that such a random group could lead to such a friendship, but I'm so glad it has!!

We've been friends through A Levels, University, even though we were not at the same establishment and throughout our adult lives. We have have spent many hours talking, sharing are achievements and our woes. We have spent many days hanging out, clubbing and recovering, all the while sharing our lives.

He is happily married to a lovely, strong lady and has two beautiful girls. He moved to the states some years ago, having excelled academically and has done well in his career. He has even just written a book, but you will hear more of that another time!!

I miss him dearly, but he visits at least yearly and always makes the time to meet and catch up with me. He has helped to shape me as a person and he has influenced my life for the better. 

Our true friends are to be cherished and appreciated, as come what may, they are always in our lives to support us, encourage us and help us find our way. There is no substitute for a true, loyal friend.

A, I am eternally grateful that you are part of my life.

Much love,

Shaleza

Life Is Hard Sometimes!

We all have our ups and downs, our good days and our not so good days. This seems to be the 'normal' run of human life, except for those of us that have learnt to see the happy side of life and appreciate each moment. This is something we should all aspire to. 

Unfortunately, most of us have not yet reached that level of sustained brightness and positivity. We are all different and have attained differing levels of daily happiness and/or contentment.

Most of us still have at least the odd down day, when life seems to be a struggle. Our minds are in a muddle and we don't know which way to turn. 

On these days, every day, but especially these days, the best thing to do is to keep going. Put one foot in front of the other. Get your tasks done and bear in mind that things will get better. There is always light at the end of the tunnel, however distant.

Remember all the good things in your life, family and friends especially. Everything that makes you feel grateful. That will get you through the day, so that you may start the next day afresh and it will be a brighter one.

As Eckhart Tolle teaches, learning to be present in the moment, aware of the now and not living in the past or the future, gives new meaning and purpose to our daily lives;a greater appreciation.

May all your days be filled with peace, love and happiness............
