Why do we sometimes keep something on our mind for so long but don't do anything about it? I've had a dear friend from way back on my mind for several weeks now. She and I were lifeguards together and stayed very close thru most of college and then all of a sudden the contact was lost. She was busy trying to get married-go to school-work, I was busy trying to get married-go to school-work 2 jobs...

She had a very distinct maiden name so last week I decided to Google her name+St. Augustine and it wasn't hard to narrow it down to her family. She had a large family and she and her youngest sister were the only ones who weren't deaf. I was able to get her dad's email address and I wrote him, he wrote her, and for the past 3 days I've had a wonderful time learning all about my friend's new life, husband and son, and job in South America.

There have only been 7 people through out my life that I've really felt the need to keep in touch with and she was one of the last ones I needed to contact. Now there's just one more on my list, I think I'll email his mom this morning.
