High school reunion

My ten year is this year...I'll say it again, it never ceases to amaze me how quickly time flies. I am so excited about going "home" to visit family, friends and old, familiar places. Sometimes I am so sentimental, just the thought of going back gets me all excited. I can't wait to see everyone...well, everyone that shows up at least and see where our lives have taken us. I'm sure it will be fun and yet bittersweet all at the same time. I find that when I think of home, everything is just as I left it, even though I know realistically it's not. Then I wonder where do I build bridges and where do I just let the rivers of their lives flow untouched and untarnished by awkward hellos and how are yous? Will it be strange? Will I find myself as unsure of me as I was then or instead find that I am as sure of myself around everyone as I am now? What kind of impression/mark did I leave on lives then that I would like to change now? Is it possible to change those marks? Will they see Jesus in me? Or will everyone still see each other through high school tinted lenses? Will we judge or will we love? Does everyone feel this way when going to a reunion? I also find it funny that just the other day while thinking about my reunion, what happens to be on tv? Yep, Romi and Michelle's High School Reunion! LOL, thankfully I don't feel the need to make up what I've done with myself since high school, although there are some pretty cool inventions out there that I wouldn't mind claiming like: sippy cups and disposable diapers... :) anyway, that's enough reminiscing for one night.
