Circles in Life

Ever notice how life sometimes circles around and you end up in a spot that you shouldn't have left in the first place. You are left wondering what you missed out on and why did you not realize that you should have stayed there to begin with. You worry about what all you missed and how would things have been different. But wondering what you missed is not really an edifying exercise. You never now what would have really happened. And as a matter of fact you really would have probably not done anything different. Just enjoy the fact that you made it around again. Tell those you made it back too that you are glad that they are once again in your life. Tell them how much you missed them. Tell them how much you love them and start a new circle with them.

Old Friends

I just spent the weekend with some friends from way back, friends from grade school and high school. There is something really special about old friends. They grew up where you grew up. The grew up when you grew up. They grew up with you. They remember the sights, the smells, the sounds. They remember being innocent, and life just being about playing and having fun. Somehow being with them brings back those happy days.

Some say that is living in the past. They say you need to live in the present and deal with the realities that life is now. Maybe that is true I need to worry about today. Or maybe I should just say to these people, "screw you" I want to life like I did as a kid.

I love my old friends and I wouldn't trade them or the memories for anything else in the world.
