This morning I had breakfast with a wonderful friend of mine, one of those people in my life who manages to be in my life and be exceptional despite the fact that she lives thousands of miles away. I have about seven friends like that and it is such a gift.

Spending time with her is lovely because she’s such an intelligent woman, funny and tremendously good to people and to herself. She makes me want to take care of myself, to work harder on my writing and continue to live positively even when the Dementors encroach.

It makes me really sad that I won’t see her, if only for a short while, because I think she’s fantastic and I just wanted to tell you that, Tumblr.
