last nite was a monthly get together of the alumni of my high school graduating class...we have been diligently planning our big reunion for this year...and the plans are coming together quite nicely...
these get togethers have sparked on a whole new adventure though...i must say...i have kept in touch with many of my friends from high school...but these monthly get togethers have sparked a whole new addition of "lost" friends...perhaps it is the anticipation of the reunion...that some are getting back into contact with others...perhaps it is the phenomenon that is facebook that has sparked renewed connections...
whatever the reason...the core group of us which started the talks of the reunion etc...have never lost connection...but what i have loved seeing...and what is a true testament of my friends...is how we have welcomed any and all who wanted to participate in the monthly get togethers...
word has been spreading...pictures have been seen...of our group just sitting around a table...talking about our lives, our families, our dreams, our hopes...reminiscing about the high school days...and talking about the future...
these get togethers have spurred into something much bigger than just the reunion...relationships have been restored...clique's have been broken...and a genuine love for one another is very transparent...this will continue far beyond the reunion this year...we are sure of it...
high school today and of yester year bring about insecurities...trying to fit in...being in the "in" crowd...these things never seem to change...and unfortunately..it doesn't only happen in high school...i see it sometimes in grown adults...but i love that i don't see it in this group of friends...
