I am blessed

I have titled this entry this way as I do believe I am truly blessed. I have three girlfriends whom I have known for so long, that even my moving to another country has not dimmed our friendship. I have picked the last daffodils from our garden wall just for you. When I went back to Australia at Christmas; it was like I had never been away.
