~ * Pinterest ~ and thoughts on Life

I have been loving pinning 

things that bring joy to my heart

And...

Visiting the boards on Pinerest so much!

It reminds me of 

when as a child the 

Christmas Wish Book

would arrive in the mailbox

And..

I would peruse through it 

and turn back the corners on

the pages that held 

something I really liked

and perhaps

wanted

for my Christmas gift.

Fall brings back so many memories.

It is so nice to reconnect

with those happy memories

you have from your childhood.

Recently,

just this past year,

I reconnected with my 

oldest dearest childhood friend.

We have so much fun together

because we have shared

so much.  Being with her

feels as natural as breathing.

She was my next door neighbor growing up.

And to list all the memories from

idolizing her older "cool" Beatles loving sister,

to dressing up as Suzy Spy for trick or treating,

and Brownies and Girl Scouts

would take loads of posts to unload.
 I will just summarize by saying

we were two peas in a pod

and we still are to this day!

I teach my first graders this song each year,
(which by the way ~ learned in Girl Scouts)

Make new friends but keep the old
one is silver and other's gold
A circle's round, it has no end
And that's how long I will be your friend.

So here are my wishes for you...

That you can reconnect with old friends,
make new really good ones!

Love, Joy, Peace, and

Blessings to all!

Katie
