perspective

I've noticed that I become reticent about blogging when someone I know dies - my thoughts seem to pale into insignificance.
I've been very glad this week to have spent time with friends - a lovely lunch in Lancaster and then a beanfeast last night. My friends are incredibly important to me, and so even though work is looming large whilst I trying and figure what I'd like to do (every job ad I've looked at so far I've rejected on some grounds or another, I don't think I'm ready just yet and that's fine, there's time yet), I'm holding onto the knowledge that work is just a part of my life and I want to keep a balance of all that's important.
It's all about perspective.
