My First Blog

So This is not really my first blog, It is just my first blog on this site.

So I have a very beautiful, wise, affirming and encouraging friend whom I love very much. She has been part of my life for a very long time. She knows me very well (sometimes I think a little too well). I hope everybody has a friend like this in their life. Anyway you are probably reading this wondering why I am telling you about her. Just keep reading it will become clear I promise.

I was discussing hobbies with her today and complaining that there was no hobbie suited to me, as there is not a creative bone in my body.

We came to the topic of writing which led into a very long discussion about writing. I shared my thought to her that I would like to write a book "one day" but feel that i do not have enough to share, or that i don't write eloquently enough.

My very beautiful and wise friend encouraged me to start a blog. To start putting my thoughts down and seeing where that led me. She gently (with a sledgehammer) reminded me that I can do this, that I have story to tell. I have had experiences in my life that I could share with people.

So here we are looking at Laura's thoughts.

My wonderful friend is someone very special in my life. She continually challenges me and helps me grow, she stops me wallowing in circumstance and keeps me looking beyond the now. She embodies all the qualities a good friend has and I will cherish her friendship for a long time to come. I say all this because I believe everybody should have a friend like this. It is friendships like these that will last a lifetime.

So that is my first blog, hope you enjoy.

Until next time

Laura
