I think that, at times, you and I found our niches in different groups. But you are on a very short list of people I think about when those *rare* fond MHS memories bubble up to the surface of my memory. High school was tough, I think, for anyone who had the foresight to realize that the best was still yet to come. That the four painful, awkward years between childhood and adulthood wasn't as good as it gets. I feel sorry for anyone who looks back on their time in high school as their glory days. But I am so thankful to have been able to take the best part of high school (my few friends like you) forward in life with me. Like Margaret said, time and distance (even infrequent correspondence) haven't changed how much I love you. These are our glory days. And if we lived closer, you'd be sick of seeing yourself in my Facebook pictures.<br /><br />And yes, I am clueless and didn't realize you had a blog until today. :)Beth Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436862684052015393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412323614231106444.post-84281449439561484052009-02-19T08:33:00.000-08:002009-02-19T08:33:00.000-08:00Maggie, I feel the same way about you.

I hated high school too...but having you for a friend made it so much more bearable. You're a rare gem, Liz. I'm glad you're starting to see that for yourself ;-)Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04832299978891044840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412323614231106444.post-51816053736068707962009-02-09T15:35:00.000-08:002009-02-09T15:35:00.000-08:00I kinda know how you feel...I have a number of fac...I kinda know how you feel...I have a number of facebook "friends" from highschool that I never really even talked to during those years. And honestly, I don't know if they want to befriend me just to add to their numbers or because they have finally realized what they've been missing. :-) But know this, the real tragedy is that the people who wrote you off in high school were missing out just as much (probably more) than you were...and whereas you are realizing it and grieving it, they are still oblivious and shallow. If you must be sad, be sad for them. Because today, which is the only day that really counts, you have friends that love you dearly and count you among their top blessings in life.S. A.

Thanks for articulating some of what I've felt as I see who comes up. I don't really enjoy living in the past, and have found myself being choosy about who is on my list of "friends"...maybe you can do a blog post about how the term friend is used/misused on Facebook?<BR/>Lindsaylinzredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11687488881497324941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412323614231106444.post-80221329380010076542009-02-03T05:16:00.000-08:002009-02-03T05:16:00.000-08:00I think that what you fail to realize is that you ...I think that what you fail to realize is that you are such a tremendously special, amazing, beautiful and unique person that it takes someone with a very discerning eye to spot the wonder and beauty that is Elisabeth right off the bat. Very, very few 14-18 year olds have that ability. I feel extremely lucky that the universe opened my eyes to you that first day at YHC (and that somehow it made this usually shy girl unafraid to "stalk" you into friendship).Eva Amorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039117267736009530noreply@blogger.com
