It's finally here! Take off day for our FIRST vacation without our kids! I find it pretty ironic that the reason we're actually going on this trip is to meet up with my classmates from Hardee Senior High school (CLASS OF 84!) to celebrate our 3 0 th Reunion!
So, you know….old people stuff!
Yea, time to connect with other old farts who have weathered life's storms and left behind young healthy skinny bodies to be the people we are today. Chances are….we'll have lots in common besides jelly rolls & crows feet or even arthritis and the die-a-beet-us!
We'll be sharing all that life has given to us and taken away….and hugging necks of those we played with on the playground, wrote notes to in class and sat with at lunch. I look forward to a great weekend of fun with people WHO KNOW ME and still love me even after a 30 year long separation.
Isn't that cool?
And doing it all while staying on the beach ain't so bad either, right?
Thank you for home. Thank you for the life you've given me and for the place that started it all. Growing up in a small town was a blessing that jumpstarted all that I am today. Let my life bless others because of WHO YOU ARE inside of me.
Amen
