Old Friends

Rainy days make me pensive. And I am particularly thoughtful on this rainy Wednesday because I'm tired and because it is the birthday of my old college roommate. We don't talk anymore. Unfortunately, our friendship kind of fell apart when boys entered the picture. More specifically, when her first college boyfriend entered the picture. Then Brian came into my life and that kind of sealed the deal. Of course, it didn't help that no one really liked her boyfriend and people loved Brian. :-)

I get a little sad thinking of all the friends who I don't talk to anymore. I wonder what they are up to. Then on occasion we are reunited and I realize why we don't talk much anymore. Our lives have just gone in different directions. I'm kind of jealous that Brian has known his best friend from the 7th grade. I think my oldest friend is from high school. (That would be you, K. :-)

I hope all of you reading this are doing well, and know that I am thinking of you today.

I feel very special :) :) :)
I don't talk much to people pre-HS either, but moving from the North to the South between Jr. High & HS definitely tipped that balance. It's tough to keep up, but it is usually worth it...
I just wish more of my 'old friends' were living a little closer...
