Girlfriend therapy

 




I was reading an article today about Sarah Murdoch during my lunch break and how she juggles being an Executive Producer of a reality tv show, running her own production company and a mum to three small children. 

'The key to having a family and career? Goodbye social life!' she said.

I hear what Sarah is saying.  I used to have a buzzing social life.  Now?  Not so more.

Work takes up my week and after work its all about making dinner, baths, story time, dishes and packing bags for the following day.  Weekends are chores, gardening, house reno's and precious time with my boys.  Social life, or lack thereof, is way down my list of things to do.

But...what always makes me feel better, without a doubt, is seeing my girlfriends.  And one beautiful friend in paarticular, who I have known since I was 17.  On Sunday morning we had breakfast overlooking the Indian Ocean and even though it was wild outside, it felt so calming enjoying a leisurely breakfast.  Chat we did, we got everything off our chests and had a great natter.

I need to make more time for those special friends in my life and I am going to make the time.  I always come away feeling better about life, and feeling supremely lucky to have gorgeous girlfriends who just get it.

Thankyou for a lovely Sunday morning Jules :)
