First, I don't know who wrote all of that yesterday. Somebody must have hacked into my blog! :) Today, I'm not such a jerk!
It's actually been quite a trip down memory lane, today and tonight. A friend posted some facebook pics of Belmont, back in "the day." Good grief, our hair and clothes......all I can say is, you could switch up the faces in any of those pictures with mine, and it would be me! What were we thinking? What I see is that all of the stuff I accumulated, and lost is nothing compared to the friends I've accumulated and kept. I've known my friend Sharron for 32 years! Tiffany is a close second at 29 years, Jeanette and Brenda for 22, Elizabeth for 19. Then I've got great friends that I've only known for a short time, with some of my best friends right there in the middle! I've known my mom my whole life and my sisters and daughters for all of their lives! Does having such friends from so long ago make me feel old? No, just lucky. These friends will never be swept away in bad weather, and with each new year of my life, I plan to keep adding to the group! You can never have too many friends. The girl scout song is wrong, one isn't silver, while the other is gold. They are all more precious than gold, and I thank God for them every day.
32... that is a LONG time! We ARE old!
