Very uplifting show.<br /><br />It just so happens that my 25th reunion is this year as well. I am trying to figure out if I want to go, this post gives me a lot to think about.Chai Chaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845100961653150736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30891954.post-56204376746386834812010-04-29T16:27:53.613-07:002010-04-29T16:27:53.613-07:00To All:

I think my wise blog friends have pointed out to me that I am doing what I have been trying to do all along, understand what IS and IS NOT important. I thank you all for your feedback to my musing. I guess sometimes I have to realize that my life is just that, mine. I can do things, or not, as I see fit (within reason), and people who are pressuring me to do other things might mean well, but ARE NOT ME. And that's the point, I suppose... <br /><br />(And Bearfriend, I am laughing myself silly at your verification!)Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085463730809297977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30891954.post-13283785869145782732010-04-29T15:17:12.703-07:002010-04-29T15:17:12.703-07:00Hey Cat, I am of the same opinion.

Plus, you won't be hung over from the night before, so you'll look great!<br /><br />Send me your snail mail address and I'll send you some gourd seeds. annasbasement@gmail.comChickens in the Basementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715138502582651998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30891954.post-25492431992743025152010-04-29T15:17:12.704-07:002010-04-29T15:17:12.704-07:00There comes a point in your life when you realize ...There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will.

I figure, if I don't hang out with these people anymore, why would I pay to spend an evening to be around them? Nothing against them, I just prefer my little life the way it is now.<br /><br />Do what you feel is right and don't worry what other people may say or think!CMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697762495151569561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30891954.post-51752012193226759642010-04-29T12:31:20.272-07:002010-04-29T12:31:20.272-07:00Hi Cat.

Sometimes you have to be strong to say no. <br /><br />You know your own mind and that's all you need to go with. <br /><br />I hope you have a lovely picnic!

All in all though, I probably wouldn't go anyway, better things to do, fish to fry or whatever. I couldn't stand most of the kids I went to school with anyway. Just my take on it.<br /><br />Have a good day!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743921972328074980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30891954.post-86777404417746286782010-04-29T09:11:50.676-07:002010-04-29T09:11:50.676-07:00I skipped my 25th year reunion.

I "may" go to my 50th, coming up in six years, but probably won't. I had a miserable time in high school, and couldn't wait to get out. Why should I want to see those people again?<br /><br />Heck, I loved college, and I don't even go to any of those reunions.<br /><br />So, I would say that if you don't want to go, don't go. You've moved on, that's all.

Sure, I think there is something very fun about seeing how people look as adults and how they have matured since HS and what they are doing. Some of that is honest, kind-hearted curiosity and some is mean-spirited voyeurism. I used to think HS reunions were once in a lifetime events that just should not be missed. Maybe I don't care anymore because I've already been to three. Maybe I don't want to go because I always have been and still am a shy person, so I would mostly still be an onlooker and that's not so much fun.<br /><br />I can sure understand the reasons why you have better things to do than attend the dinner; and I'm glad you're not being pressured by people who think they know what you want to be doing with your time!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10950451908465207387noreply@blogger.com
