Where Does the Time Go?

A former neighbor and great friend recently found me thru Facebook....unfortunately we had gone our separate ways over 20 years ago: she divorced and moved to Iowa and I divorced and stayed here.....

Last nite we hooked up again and talked about old times when our kids were little....we both ended up rolling on the floor laughing at some of the times and experiences we shared 'way back when'....good times that ended way too soon for both of us.....

We both came to the conclusion that had we tried just a little harder, maybe our friendships and marriages might have lasted....maybe we would not have gone our separate ways, but then again as I've always said we had issues to deal with and lessons to learn apart.  It's hard to believe how young we were and so sure of ourselves. 

During our time apart we both experienced long term relationships with men....and in comparing both men involved, we pretty much had the same kind of life....neither one of us married those men (thank God!), but boy did we learn....

So, where did the time go?  Hopefully it's not the time that goes, but it's us that evolve.....so glad of that!
