High School Reunion

So, I am getting ready to attend my 30th High School Reunion…arghhh! There are so many insecurities going through my head right now…I have really aged alot in the past 10 years, I did not accomplish the goals I set for myself right after graduation, and so on and so on…. This whole scenario reminds me of “Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion”. I mean, should I lie, recompose the truth, or exaggerate just a little about my accomplishments…I mean Michelle said she invented the “post it notes” and almost got away with it!
No, I think I need to drink some good herbal “gourmet” tea-the kind my friend Donna makes…and meditate about the fact that I am ok! I am 48 years old, healthy, working at my passion (ok so it took me 48 years to find it), don’t look “that” old, and will be with a handsome guy who is five years younger than me…my husband!
So what if I did not accomplish the goals I had set out to do…I really did accomplish so much more and in reality when I look back at what my life would have been like if I had gotten all that I thought I wanted at 18 – I don’t think I would have been happy. I opened every single door that was placed in front of me and when it didn’t work out – I closed the door behind me (gently). I realize that everyone there will have the same insecurities that I do. And in the end, I wish all of them so much happiness and success from their lives because it is not about who reaches the top first – there is enough happiness out there for everyone and it would be really cool to reach the top together!
