As we go on, we remember...

I could not resist the title - if you don't understand, read on please. As many of you know, "Last Friday Night"  was our 10 Year High School reunion! I had absolutely no intention of going and quite frankly, the thought of seeing so many of my "high school acquaintances" made me cringe. However, things quickly changed the week that my mom passed away...a few of my high school friends became several of my rocks that have helped me to slowly...start to come back to life. My friend Jess and I were out to dinner one night that week and she exclaimed that she was buying tickets and we were going - I figured, well nothing could be worse than this point in my life - so what the hell! Later that night, I got drinks with CJ and Philly and before I knew it...we were all reunion bound.

Prom Pictures!

As we got to the reunion (after a few glasses of wine of COURSE)...I had the biggest smile on my face! There was literally not one person I wasn't happy to chat with or see! It was such a great time with so many genuine, fun people who really just wanted to reconnect...and for me, as I stated in my first entry...that it was life is all about...connections. Sometimes you meet people and they might not always be physically in your life but there is a bond created between  you with comfort and support knowing that they are always there. Of course, for me, I believe that making effort is important and whether it's a phone call, text, or coffee date - life is entirely too short not to build meaningful relationships. For me, the reunion was a great way to strengthen certain friendships, rekindle others, and start new ones! I hope that it was the same for many :). I believe that it is never too late to let someone into your life...and that a quick conversation can often change everything.

Now, of course - some things never change...
