Before the Dreams Materialized
Do you have friends that have known you since when you dreamt of where you would be today?
Well, I am proud to say that I do. I had the opportunity to spend four days on a Bahama Cruise with eight women that I have known since Middle School. What a blast from the past. The kooky are kookier, the cheerleaders are now cheering on their offspring, and who knew that Real Estate would be the most profitable and popular career of my generation. To hear the words, "Wow, your still Acting", made me think of how much a person could predict their future. Sharing memories and achievements really made me realize how far we have all come. When we actually thought that we would either be dead or very very old at our age now. How beautiful and youthful they all looked. Some with a little help from modern technology and others just aging gracefully. Reminiscing has got to be the best conversation women can have. Some things you wish you could have blocked out and other things that make you realize that you really haven't changed all that much. We were young girls becoming women and we made it through the seventies with just slight imperfections that actually compliment each of us personality wise. What a pleasurable opportunity to see friends that were there before the dreams and hopes of the future materialized

Dear Elizabeth-
What a great idea-
Isn't it wonderful that friends you grew up with can kind of take up where you left off and still be friends-
Sounds like such a great time and those dreams may have changed to other dreams, everyone looks happy and well-
Regi.
I know what you mean. It's like standing at the base of a steep hill, saying to one another "I want to see the view from up there," and you talk about how it will be when you get there, not really sure you're going to make it. But, then you move, one step at a time, one breath at a time, and when you get to the top you lean on each other, look back down the trail and say "wow, we did it." And then, you turn and start up the next hill...
I know exactly what you mean. I have a friend that I went to Kindergarden with, she still lives in Cali with her family. We lost our mothers and my father within the last 7 years. Our brothers were best friends also, may God be with them, they have both passed within the last four years. Anyway we both have a lot of good memories. We continue to encourage each other spiritually and emotionally. I will call on the weekends and say "How is Daddy?" asking about her dad. We two, are looking forward to continued happiness and sccess in life. Glad to hear you all had a great time in the Bahamas.
