I am the luckiest woman on earth. I sometimes feel giddy with happiness at all the things I have - a loving husband, a roof over my head I can call my own, a healthy-ish body, a family I adore and who love me unconditionally, a job that challenges me and allows me to be very flexible and a support net that is unbelievable. I mean totally out of this world amazing and unbelievable.
A few Fridays ago, I decided to have a night to say thank you to my support net. We are a large group and naturally, some closer friendships have formed over time. I had invited three of the ladies over for dinner. I was lucky enough to be working from home that day and started my day with porridge and fruit.

The highlight of the day, though, was the night with the girls. I had whipped up a slowly cooking, but easily thrown together vegetarian chili served with brown rice, home made guacamole and corn tortilla chips.

It was delicious and I've been enjoying the left overs for quite some time (there is still more in the fridge), yet the best part of the evening was spent chatting, laughing, sharing embarrassing stories and feeling connected and supported. I loved it. Thanks, my ladies.
