Old Friends

I just "found" some old college friends on Facebook and let me tell you....I feel like I'm 20 again. We spent some time on Bourbon St. in New Orleans our last year in college (it was strictly professional....we were there for a conference ~ hee, hee!)  and somehow wound up with a purple feather boa.  I hadn't thought of that thing for 10 years until I was cleaning out some stuff for a yard sale and a tiny piece of purple feather came to the surface.  It was one of those laugh-out-loud moments where you can almost close your eyes and be back there again.  I had the best time in college....I learned so much about life (and I'm sure some scholarly things as well), myself, and how to become a productive member of society (wait a minute....I don't have a job....am I a productive member of society ~yikes)  Although FB can be a pretty nasty temptation to stray away from things that are "right" (time with family, obligations, healthy relationships, etc...) it's a wonderful place for me to see friends, old and new, and marvel at what wonderful people are in my life.  So, to all of my great friends, if we were on Bourbon St. again I would say "cheers" and enjoy one with you, but at this point in my life....I'll go put the kiddos down for a nap, make a glass of Kool-Aid, think about you, and SMILE ;)
