A funny thing.

Oh boy. So many funny things. Let's see. It's hard to think about funny things although there were many funny things that happened this weekend.
It was so wonderful. My friends and I had such a reunion this weekend. It could have gone for a couple more days but I really did have to get back to my regular schedule.
It started last week when Willi arrived but it culminated this weekend when everyone was in town. I was very glad that I took this weekend off. I was sad that my Mom couldn't join the festivities because it was a picture perfect New England Weekend. But this did allow me to say yes to a lot of things. I was able to spend as much time as I wanted with my friends. It felt so good to be surrounded. So at ease with people who have known me as an adult for a very long time. We experienced our second growth together and I am sad every time that they have to return to their corners of the Earth. I remembered that at one point, we were all together in this place for many years. It was only after a lot of development that we went our separate ways. It's funny that some of them romanticize moving back here. It is an amazing area but I think, "You've made it out. Why come back? You have a life out there now and friends just like you had here. Don't I want them to return? To feel surrounded by love? It's tough because I know that having a family of friends supporting me in this area.
But I don't feel as like I am so far away from them. Physically, yes the distance is vast but I can always pick up a phone and make contact with them no matter where they are in the world and that has kept me from feeling sad.
So many things happened to me this weekend and I could list them all off but I prefer to just let it be. I'll let each individual memory be secret to the world but in my mind they'll be added to the rest of the memories of my friends.
