Riverside has power.

So, an odd one tonight, one close to my heart and not particularly long or one that’s incredibly thought provoking. As I’m trying very hard to keep my eyes prised open but alas, an important one.

After what seemed like another day in hell, I’d suddenly remembered I’d arranged a short meeting with the Queen. Originally planning on running an outstanding errand and dropping off some VERY important products, it soon turned into a fireside chat with Queenie putting the jigsaw back together and rolling out (not the red carpet) but much needed giggles!

It has occurred to me that Queenie really does have a significant amount of power, as they should. After just a couple of hours, my perspective on the world has changed (although this could be due to my current loss of sight) yet again! Suddenly those Lady A lyrics quoted to me all those months ago may actually for the first time feel within my reach.

‘Down the road the sun is shining’

Admittedly in reach whilst pretending to be Elastigirl but, nevertheless there and visible!

I have come to find myself pondering over a new ‘to do list’, which I hasten to add isn’t an uncommon occurrence within my life however, I have a new found area to elaborate on with this one, a list which contains things I’ve never found myself previously listing. A list which I feel is going to propel me into a much sunnier new landscape. Tonight I have really been all ears and every bite of your Royal Highness’s’  exhortation has been taken on board and will hopefully play a huge role in mobilising the case forward.

Anyway, more to the point tonight has once again proven to me that friends really do have an indescribable power that can often make you do stupid (but fun) things but also the things that you really need to do in order to stop yourself from being bummed out in the least classy of places, and to set you back on track, when you fall off or take the wrong turning. It has also come to my mind what incredible extents of patience it takes not only to hold the royal position but also, any other role of the riverside, especially Owly, Minerva, Gytha, Not so much Fielding (as discovered today) alas. Also, the power in a hug, not any old hug but one at just the right time and with the right sentiments, from the right person does a lot to just boost the power needed to affirm the falcon!

So conclusively, the point of this blog tonight was not only to highlight the power of friends but, also mark the start of tomorrow being potentially a whole new start! New day, new outlook and perhaps even one new (very scary) event! Admittedly not every circumstance is in my control but, there are ones which are and it’s those we all need to remember to take grasp of and regain the ruled edge we may seemingly have lost along the way!

So join me in celebrating, what could be the start of a beautiful, new adventure!
