A Nice Thing About Old Friends

I've met wonderful friends here. I am fortunate and honestly amazed by my own growth from the days of my youth, when I was so shy. Don't get me wrong, I'm still shy to some extent, but I really have struck out more so with this past move than I have in any of my other life moves. My new friends and acquaintances are wonderful people, but there is just something about old friends. I don't mind repeating my story to new people; Iowa, Kansas, New Jersey, Colorado, Iowa, teacher, science, PhD etc... But how nice it is to have old friends who have been on the journey with you.
