I have had a week to ponder my 30th high school reunion.  It was a wonderful time.  I saw old friends I hadn’t seen in at least 25 years, some close to the 30 since graduation. 

I don’t have anything profound to say about the experience except that it gave me a perspective that I sorely needed and that is that the past is the past and I can’t continue to beat myself up for things I did in the past nor can I fix those things, I can just move on and try not to mess up in the same way again.  I think in a way, this experience gave me the closure I have been searching for after my divorce.  In this Life Part 2 journey, I find I am much closer to that girl I was 30 years ago than I am to the girl that got married first time and that, is a very good thing.

In a weird kind of a twist, my first internal training class will be on Myers-Briggs personality type and I look at my score now, and realize that I have radically changed as I have …let’s say “matured”. Biggest difference I have noticed I don’t NEED to talk so much.  I can be quiet and listen to the other people.

The stroll down memory lane started off last Friday with the viewing of Mamma Mia!.  Loved it!  Yes, I know it is sappy but it was also fun and wow, that I remember the words to most of the Abba songs is kind of freaky.

Full immersion in the past comes this Friday as I make the trek to Austin for my high school reunion.  I haven’t been home in over 15 years and haven’t been to a reunion since my 10th.  Let the fun ensue!
