Auld Lang Syne

It has been a long while since I last blogged here. I've learned alot over the past 14 months, some very painful past memories and some fresh new ones. There have been great joys and a few minor tragedies. Life's cycle, after all.

Something I have done this year that has not happened in the past is that I have come back into contact with old school friends from high school and college. Seeing these people again online, hearing about their jobs, their lives, their children and sharing what we remember about each other has been enchanting.

I got the opportunity to sit and chat with someone I had not seen in 20 years. He had been very special to me and we had dated seriously for several years - back in the day. It was a bittersweet afternoon, but I got to be a young girl again. The gray hairs and extra pounds seemed to fall away as we laughed about our escapades and shared what we've come to learn in our years apart. No "what ifs" or "what could have beens" just quite a few "remember whens".

All in all, it's been a rough year but one I've been blessed to survive. I have met a few new people in the past year and they will make this year new and exciting, I am sure. My resolutions are to lose some weight, gain some muscle tone and take more of the opportunities that I am afforded. Pax...
