Sometimes you just have to take a step back and think about what has happened just in the last few days – and be really, really, really grateful.
Today Audra is at a funeral of a friend from school – died of cancer aged just 42 and I spoke to a friend who I haven't heard from in a while and found out he was falsely accused of attempted murder!
Yet also this week Audra was on the radio and I was photographing camels on the roadside, I have ate Polish sour soup with boiled eggs and sausage, swam, sat in the sun, won work, lost out on a bid, hosted a webinar for 10 countries, met a ex colleague who I hadn't seen for 10+ years, ate squid and drank tequila. I prayed for my Mum whilst she went through her chemo treatment, learnt that our book will be in Richard Branson's Personal Assistants' hands tomorrow morning, I met with a Sheiks advisor, I smoked a cigar and played trivial pursuit, I woke up crying from a dream, read a great book about a monk who sold his Ferrari and I met a lady who hasn't seen her 3 kids for over a year. I had dinner with friends, watched an amazing water show and comforted a freind with a broken heart.
Saturday I will be flying home to be with my kids, grandkids and dogs and I'll be swapping my flip flops for warm winter boots.
Life is bizarre, it's happy and sad, an experience, an adventure, it's devastating, exciting and exhausting, thrilling and traumatic.
I just wanted to post this because I always forget all the things that have happened to me, tomorrow will bring something else to push out the memories of yesterday – sometimes that is good and sometimes that is bad, just like life. Audra this post is for you, I am proud of you and I love you x
