Where does the time go

Where does the time go? Today, I met with some old friends for lunch. We hadnt seen each other in twenty plus years and it was as if it had only been days. We all stepped right back into the old times with tons of pictures and stories. We poured through albums and laughed until we had tears in our eyes...mostly at our hair! We all had exactly the same hairdo....parted down the middle and winged on the sides. In fact, we were looking at an old group photo of a cheer camp we had attended one summer and there must have been 200 plus girls in that photo. You would think that we could find our squad....Nope, EVERYONE had the same hair! 200 girls and we all had our hair parted down the middle and winged on the sides. We have Farrah to thank for that! God rest her soul. We laughed for hours, and could have gone on for more but the restaurant staff was starting to stare.

Why do we wait so long to get together we old friends? Why do we procrastinate and pretend that our life before family and children didnt matter? It does matter...it is part of who we are and to reach back and touch that part of us can be so empowering. It feels so good to laugh about our hair and the funny vest we were wearing! What were we thinking? It feels good to know that we really did exist in that life that we sort of remember.

Thanks so much to those who put together this reunion of cheerleaders, it was such a blast from the past! I had such a wonderful time and am looking forward to the next one!

Wish I had a photo to share with you...I will look around and see what I can come up with. You have got to see the hair!
