We all could have used a little help from Lindsay in high school

First off, I haven't blogged in awhile and glad to be back!

Lindsay and I just recently returned from a girls trip to Denver for my sisters birthday. We also went to a High School reunion Happy Hour. It was sponsored by my younger sisters class of 1982 but I was going to meet up with some friends from my class in 1978. Ridiculous as it seems, walking into a bar about to see people you haven't seen since high school, still brings back all those "feelings".

As it turned out, it was mainly people a lot younger than I but thanks to Lindsay, I met almost everyone! It took no time at all for her to jump into the party mode. She didn't want to stay with me! No, she got her pop in hand and followed Wendi around as her social little shadow. Wendi would talk with someone and before I knew it, Lindsay would motion me over to meet everyone. Most people didn't know me or Lindsay and "our story". But before long, Lindsay had caught everyones eye and her ability to engage. Before the night was over, Lindsay had pulled out my camera, found a photo of Grr and was showing everyone she could.  People would come over, on their own, just to see her proudly show off Grr. It was touching and thought provoking at the same time.

Lindsay knew how to work the room, as they say. She did it without judgement, without preconceived ideas. Didn't matter if they were a "jock or freak or nurd". She wanted to meet everyone and for everyone to meet each other. No matter the status, no matter the dress, no matter if they were "cool" or not, they were all equal in Lindsay's eyes.

Something we all could had a little help with in high school.
