My best friend, Sue, was up visiting from Roseburg, OR. She arrived Thursday evening and left today, Sunday. I already miss her!!
Since I was house/kitty sitting for a friend, she stayed with me. We had fun visiting our favorite thrift store and seeking out garage sales. In fact, at one garage sale I ran into an old neighbor! She invited us into her new home and we chatted about an hour.
It seems when Sue and I get together we always have some "remember when" times. It is always fun to recall those fun and memorable events in our lives. We talked about things we did together, guys we knew, old friends we miss, and family.
We also sometimes stroll down those rocky roads of not-so-good memories. When you can share the good and bad, you know you have a good friend. Sue and I can discuss anything and everything without fear of being judged. That is so wonderful!
As I was lying in bed the other night, I thought about how often it seems I "revisit" moments from my life as I get older. When I spoke with my father one weekend we chatted about moments and people from the past.
Now, I do not know how it makes everyone else feel, but it makes me want to run backwards in time! I wish I could revisit moments and be youthful again. I want to have that energy I had. I want to have the flexibility, stamina and eagerness I once enjoyed that seems to have waned. I know it is all impossible, but it sure would be fun! Just for a little while......
