Shock and awful

 Last Monday I attended a quarterly luncheon of my 1950 Central H.S. class. I'd gone to only one other one many years ago. Husband's health made it difficult to get away and he just wasn't up to attending them. Also the last class reunion I attended was 24 years ago.

What a shock! How awful! I thought, "What am I doing here with all these old people?" I mean REALLY old looking folks: hair white or gone, wrinkles, walkers, false teeth, oxygen. Only a few former classmates attending the lunch looked anything like they had years ago. I had to resist the impulse to run to the ladies' room to check my image in the mirror. I am still wondering if I looked as old to them as they did to me. It will take awhile for the shock to wear off.

My Nonna always said you are only as old as you feel, and she was always young at heart, I think I am like her in that way


In Christs Love

But I don't think anything can surpass that feeling of reigniting old friendships. It can make us all feel young again.

You've got to remember...the first hundred years are the toughest.

Stay well stay young

When the past stays so crisp and clean in our memories it makes the shabby present all the more sad. You of course, have aged gracefully. There are some of my classmates that look (in your words) "rode hard and put away wet".

I sometimes see old school mates and think the same thing (except I'm in my forties)!

Judging by these two pictures, you haven't changed much since high school.
