keeping it in the past

this weekend

my husband and i

will be attending his high school class reunion

i do not normally live

in the past---

in fact,

i am not one of those that brings

up their glory days---

and

i did have a pretty decent,

and popular existence in high school.

i am not one that has any

 traumatic memories

like some people, i know.

i have nice memories

of school and friends!

i am also

one that always,

and i mean always...

looks at that glass half full.

so i may only remember the 'good days'?! ha.

so, getting back to the hubs'.

he and i went to the same high school.

he was a senior when i was a freshman.

we did not date.

we did not start dating until the summer

of my senior year

when he came home for a visit

from college. ;)

but, since we both attended

the same school,

a lot of his friends

married friends of mine 

or at least girls i knew from school. :)

so when i go to his reunion,

in some ways it feels like mine as well. 

this year

we are keeping it simple

with a potluck and bonfire.

i have downloaded

nothing but good 

and i mean 

GOOD

70's music!!

i will be in charge of keeping the music playing during the event.

so as i sit here,

right now---

listening to 

my selections of music,

it is funny

how some music 

can conjure up memories.

i can listen to a song

and be transported right back

to the 70's

and remember

listening out on my parents

deck,

to music

while laying in the sun,

trying to boost my tan

before going out that night 

on a date.

:)

i still have NO idea

what i will be wearing!

i am trying not to 

make too much of a big deal

out of it

and let go!? 

as my husband

visits with his buddies

and they reminisce about the 

good old days

and their 'jock' status'

i will be visiting and catching up with

some friends too!!

have a lovely week

and shine your light my friends!

we never know

who we might touch this week

with our smile!

blessings,
