20 Years

20 Years used to seem so much longer.
20 Years used to seem so far away.
20 Years is now a drop in the bucket...   as my 20th Year High School Reunion peaks it's head around the corner--just 2 weeks and 2 days away.    I wasn't going...  thought, I see folks on Facebook--why should I go?   Then, my dear friend of 30 (or more!) years called me this morning to see if I was going...   So, what the hell...   we all have to have a lot of stories from 20 years, right?!

I think the most amazing thing to me is that I have classmates with grown children who are having babies of their own... classmates who are just now having babies... and, (yah, get off my back--I haven't even been married a year...lol)...    It's amazing how quick this time has gone...   I just hope the next 20 slows a bit...

I guess the trick is to enjoy the moments of the years..   hold on to memories.   I think back to my Senior Year in High School...  and did about half of it truly suck.. but, I'm a stronger individual for it... and learned a great lesson of forgiveness (and many since then).   People ask if I'd go back... I say Hell NO...  High School wasn't that great for me... but, again... I am who I am for it.   I am a confident, educated, loving, caring, motivated, strong woman.   Yah, I got feelings... I get passionate about things...  and, yes, I can be a bitch.   But, take me or leave me... :)  

So, dear classmates... see some of you in 2 weeks...   hmm, wonder if I can find any memoriabilia to bring along?
