... Sophia Was Right ....

You know how sometimes someone will tell you something that you just can't wrap your mind around? I had a good friend a few years ago. She had an interesting theory on things. She had a beautiful spirit and I do miss her unique way.... Maybe this theory will apply again to her. She would now be my last puzzle piece.

Sophia's theory was that if you think about something or someone hard enough and "cast that energy outward to the universe", what you desire will return to you like a boomerang. The first time she tried to explain this to me I said uh uh.. OK. As the years have gone by I have seen her theory through. Each person that I wanted to reconnect with for even a brief time in these past few years have just popped up, even in the strangest places. Yes... all of them. Even in a restaurant 6 miles from my home. A little scary... The others were quite random and interesting also!

The latest was one that I thought the universe would not be able to come through on. She could have been anywhere from Singapore to Kentucky. We were good friends and being crazy teenagers seemed like it would last forever. (Thankfully it didn't though.. ) I had a phone number and address from 19 years ago when we first had contact again. The first Christmas that I tried to send her a card with an update (around 1988) she already had moved on. ? I have since wondered if I would ever hear from her again. I watched for her on websites like Classmates and Reunion.com but was never in the right place at the right time.

Finally!

Hey Judy..... I've missed you! I have teenagers of my own now and our craziness has come back to me like it was yesterday! My parents are now watching from "above" and probably laughing because mine are truly giving me a run more so than I gave them!

We had a lot of fun and crazy times... If you choose to scroll through this blog, go back to the archives of 8/18/06. The 30 year reunion was a bit strange. Running into Bob Prestwich was truly the highlight though. (He's how I met Gary) I don't know if you had heard about Cindy or not. If not, I'm sorry. It's been a long time. I will forward this link to Terri and Kaye. :)
