It's funny how a simple thing can bring back a flood of memories. A long time friend's birthday is today and it was on facebook. Wow! How many years ago did I meet her??? Oh, gosh! We were young teens.
There were a dozen or more of us. . . going to beach parties, pajama parties, dreaming of meeting our Knight in Shining Armor. . . We were "good little girls" and life was always going to be wonderful. Along the way there were good times and bad. . . graduation from high school and for some, college. . . weddings, breakups, children, grandchildren.
It brings tears to my eyes. Tears of great joy and tears of deep hurt. But isn't that what life is all about, really? Would we all be the same person we are today without our share of heartache? Heartache that eventually made us the strong person we are today?
There's an old saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going and when you walk through a storm, keep walking, one step at a time, till the sun comes out again."
