Things I have learned...

As I am sitting here reflecting on my weekend away and getting ready to go home tomorrow, here are just a few of the things I have learned:

  • No matter the distance between friends... things are always the same when you are reunited. It is truly like no time has passed, and you are together on a daily basis like you used to be.
  • As we get older, we do not have the ability to stay out as long as we used to.  Yes... it is now 7:14 p.m. and we are both exhausted and ready for sleep.
  • As you reminisce about the events spanning over the last 15-20 years... they are even funnier now than they were before.  
  • We used to drink Irish Car Bombs and Lemon Drops... now, a simple glass of wine is perfect.
  • As we have watched our kids grow up, and we are much closer to the grandkid side of life than the kid side - we have decided we will never will be called Granny, Nanny, MeMaw, or MawMaw - we will be called Coco and Honey.  
  • After being exposed to a group of young 20 something's at a spa - we are hoping our 20 something's don't act that way and IF they do - hopefully someone will correct their actions. 
  • There are some images in life that you will never erase from your mind (can't even go into detail on what we were exposed to at above mentioned spa).
  • I am very blessed to have friends who love me unconditionally and accept me for who I am.
  • And last but not least... laughter is definitely good for the soul.
These are just a few of the things at the top of the list. Now... I am preparing to get back to work, and go home to all my loved ones that I miss. We have definitely made lots of new memories for us to laugh about for many more years to come!!
