I love my life

I went to my 30th HS reunion last Saturday and had a blast. It was interesting to watch all the people interact after such a long time. But the one thing I came away with is how very much I love my life. I know that sounds strange, but hear me out. I pray that I have changed and grown over the years. I saw people who were exactly the same 'partiers' & rock and rollers they were in school. The ones who didn't know when to say when then and now. There were those who were awesome then as now. Then I saw the few who were very different and new in who they were. One woman had lost 150 pounds and was thrilled with who she had become. There was one who through the death of a child had turned to God in a new and amazing way. I found a God who loved me for who I am and I try to let that reflect in the way I am with people. I had one woman come up and tell me to my face what an ass I had been. It was quite a revelation that she saw me that way. BUT it's not a surprise after I think about it. I am an arrogant know it all and I am sure that I was the same way in HS. I hope and pray that I have changed enough for people who knew me then could notice a change in the me I am NOW.

I am happy to see that I have changed. I am happy to see that I have grown in a good way. There was a singer in church who sang a song that basically said I am not who I want to be but thank goodness I am not who I was. Let's pray that in 30 more years I will be proud to say that I am thankful that I am not who I was 30 years ago!
