i am sitting here reflecting
on the past.
the person who went to her
class reunion this weekend
is not really the same person
who left there so many years
earlier.
a girl who walked the halls
years ago, pretended she had
all the answers but, really
was very insecure in many ways.
she might have looked like
she had it all together to others;
participated in all the 'right' sports,
hung out with all the 'right' people,
a girl who really, truly was just
trying her best to fit in just like
the rest of her classmates-
that girl
arrived at the reunion
and with no worry other
than the fact that she
wanted to reach out
to make sure that every
single classmate was acknowledged
and given a smile or a hug-
shining her light and reaching out
with friendship!
it was wonderful to
witness so many classmates
also mingling & reaching out to
each other-
no longer cliques and 'groups'
but all of us classmates who
have all grown older
and hopefully a little wiser!
taken at the friday social get together ( no spouses.) :)
thank you to a sweet friend for taking this!
hubbie and i
before walking
next door to the class reunion
one of the BEST highlights for me
that night was when a childhood
friend since 5th grade walked
in the door...
she was in my wedding and i
have not seen her in years!
talk about warming my heart!!
i am already thinking about
when i get to see all
these awesome friends again!
