Reunion Reflections; From the Quote of the Week Files; September 19, 2016


Last year I attended my College Reunion
This past weekend I attended my High School Reunion

Some Reflections and a Quote  or 2
about that experience...

Life is Short

It's never to late to share a memory or to thank someone

My High School and College years were NOT the real me, but the Pre Me
(I'm still a work in progress though) 

Comparing yourself to others is a waste of time. 

It's not too late to find and pursue our passions

"I have been truly blessed"
​ 
was the most commonly used phrased I heard
​ throughout the evening,
 
​ 
​e
ven though many have
​ gone through 
loss, illness and disabilities
​.
(To that end, we are not immune)​

Time passes all too quickly

Grateful for Name Tags


Some of my Classmates changed 
so much that they didn't 
recognize me! ;-)​

You laugh a lot.

​It's all about connections.​

Life is Short 
(Worth Repeating!)

"To reminisce with my old friends, a chance to share some memories, and play our songs again."

Ulysses

Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Wishing you a most beautiful day wherever this may find you!
