Those Were The Days, My Friend....

Friends are the rare gems we acquire throughout our lifetime....and when you make an honest, true friend you become a very lucky creature indeed.

I recently spent some time with a friend from my old days.  It was so much more than the wonderful visit I had imagined:  it was a trip down memory lane!  And although we are older (and wiser) when we talked about the past it came alive for us again.   We were, once again, the twenty somethings who had pool parties, Halloween parties, drank Strawberry Daiquiris and generally enjoyed our lives.  Sure we had ups and downs, bills, mortgages, young kids who never stopped saying "Mama?  Mama?  Mama!"....but we had FUN to the nth degree. 

And, isn't that what life is supposed to be about?  Enjoyment, going with the flow, laughing thru adversity is why we're here all with the help of good friends.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived.  Here's to the next generation, may they also learn about life!
