Old Friends...

It has been so much fun the past couple of months... friends from high school and college have found my website and have contacted me! I love that! It is always so great to hear from people that had such an influence in my life while I was growing up. It is fun to reminisce.... partly upon how stupid I was, partly at how easy life was back then. Didn't think so then, but you know what they say...hind sight is 20/20.

As kids, we never think "grown ups" understand. They aren't wiser! I still remember the day I looked at my mom and told her how sorry I was for the...ok, no other word for it... hell I put her through! Especially after having kids I realized just how right my parents always were!

I look back at my younger days and realize just how much each experience I went through helped me to grow. How each friend was a very influential part of that! I appreciate each person that I have felt privileged to call a friend and I thank them for all the memories. I look forward to keeping friendships going, even if it only comes down to an occasional email, at least they know I care.

One thing that I never want to do.... is forget. Never forget what it is like to be young. I want to always understand, because I still remember, what my own children are going through during their adolescent years. (I wish they would stay this young forever!)
