Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you doesn’t it? It sure does. I, for one, just spent the 5th of August at my Ten Year Class Reunion. You read that right, I have been out of high school for ten years. On one hand it seems like nothing much has happened, but on the other I realize there have been some major changes in my life and my loved ones’ lives as well. What kind you ask?
Here are some notable ones:
- I got married, divorced and remarried.
- My dad was seriously injured in an accident.
- I finally graduated college after almost nine full years of slacking.
- I found, lost and found my faith again.
- I got a great part-time job that turned into a great career.
- I’ve got cousins that have graduated college.
- My baby sister is only one year away from graduating at UGA.
- Dad has been relocated to Minneapolis, MN
- My mom’s father passed away in his 80s.
- My friend’s father had a heart attack.
- That same friend has become an uncle..
My dad always said, “You graduate high school and then life’s a blur.” I’m just now starting to realize that he’s absolutely right. Dad’s are like that in a way. Like Mark Twain once said, “When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.” The older I get the more I realize how right Twain was on that subject.
The reunion itself ended up being interesting. I didn’t go out of my way to talk to anybody, but it was good to see people from the halls of Sandy Creek. It was entertaining just to see what they looked like and read about what they’ve been up to. It truly was fascinating to look at this diverse group of people and the adults they’ve become and realize that they all had one thing in common and that was their high school.
If you’re in high school don’t wish for it to be over. If you’re out of high school I hope you remember it fondly but don’t yearn to go back. It’s time to continually move forward. Enjoy the ride, learn from your mistakes, but don’t waste your life wishing for days past. Don’t mortgage your present for your future or your past. Just try to live and appreciate what you have. It sound easy, but it is much more difficult to break your daily routine than you realize. Not to sound too cliché, but I hope that we all can take a break, stop and smell the roses. We’re all on borrowed time as it is and I know we don’t want the next 10, 20 or 30 years to be a blur like my last ten have been. I wish you all well until we meet again.
And with that...I'm gone.
