WAY BACK WHEN
I don’t know if it’s the season, the feeling of nostalgia that I feel in the fall, but I have had a desire to connect with old friends. Nowadays with phone calls so inexpensive, it’s easy to pick up the phone and dial. Since i have been around the block more than a few times, I have a lot of close friends spread out all over the country.
They have known me for quite some time prior to my life being what it is today. In some ways that’s kind of cool. We keep evolving and changing and getting into new things but there’s that part of us that’s like we were “way back when.”
That it got me to thinking about the expression “way back when.” I guess that means a long time ago but I’m not exactly sure how long ago. How long does it have to be to be “way back then.” But there is that esssece, our core, that stays the same. That core reflects our core values that sometimes gets difficult to see when our life gets involved and we feel the pressures of everyday living.
Perhaps that’ s why I picked up the phone and dialed in some of my old friends from “way back when.” To remind me that I am on the right path…as I said sometimes it gets difficult to see. But unlesss you are committed to walking the path, no one will want to walk with you. Celebrate this time of year by reconnecting with some of those old friends from you know where.
