Meaghan and I went to my 20th high school reunion over the weekend (further confirmation that this getting old thing is actually happening to me, too).
In the girl scouts, Maggie learned a corny little poem that I couldn’t help but remember on a night like that.
Make new friends, but keep the old
One is silver and the other is gold.
Seeing old friends is such a great reminder of all the old memories and fun that was had.
It is amazing how quickly the awkwardness of not having seen each other for 10+ years fades and your able to have a good time together.
Life is full of changes.
We move.
We change jobs.
We graduate and move and get a job.
And these changes usually involve some changes in the friends that you spend the majority of your time with.
Saturday was a reminder for me that even though life and things change, you can still keep the old friends and they are like gold.
Make it a great day.
