“Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.” ― Mark Twain

I was lucky enough to have a girls weekend last weekend. It's my first break from the family all year (like everyone else in the world) and it was so great to have time to do nothing.

We went to a friend's beach house at Culburra and just took walks on the beach, read, talked and relaxed.







I managed to write my second story for the NYC story contest, which fell due that weekend too. It's always a great feeling racing against the clock.







It felt so good to be removed from my normal head space, and the change of location and dynamic really made all the difference.

Just love the golden light

I made a detour on the way home and had lunch with two more friends that I hadn't seen in a year in Bowral. It was lovely to catch up, as I'm pretty useless on keeping in touch.

So thankful to friends and to natures beauty and the sun shining at the right time.




“A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.”

What are you thankful for?
