From what I have observed, alot of people feel excitement with an upcoming high school reunion, to look their best, diet for months, etc. I really had no desire to even attend my reunion in Oklahoma, other than having a fun evening with my friend Shelley. High school for me, was not the magical experience that it seems to have been for alot of other people.
When it came down to a few weeks before the reunion, with alot of things piling up, I emailed Shelley, and told her I wouldn't be able to make it. "It is the first week of summer classes" I said. She wouldn't hear of it. I was coming. "Make it work. See you then."
So, grudgingly, I paid my fee and even shopped for a dress. I made the trip to Oklahoma. That evening, Shelley and her husband picked me up at my parent's home. "Okay," I said, "Even tho no one will remember us or care to speak to us, I would like to leave a good lasting impression on these strangers. So, don't let me dance." "Okay, whatever," Shelly said with a smile.
You know where this is going don't you?
I danced. And, I danced and danced. Thanks Shelley.
