Old friends found through Facebook

Well, friends from the past might be safer than 'old' friends! I was bridesmaid for her wedding back in the early seventies and we somehow lost track of one another as the years took their toll. Over thirty years of toll actually! Now some of the highlights and lowlights will be revealed like peeling back the layers of an onion. Holding onto the past is like trying to grasp hold of fog, but the tentricles of curiousity and longing to reach back into the past to retrieve a picture of lives lived with complications and happy moments, failures and successes, will be a worthwhile and fun journey for us both.

Through the misty morning sunrise, a koala sits on the gum outside my bedroom ensuite. Such a sweet creature. For a moment she lifted her head from a morning slumber to catch the breeze and I saw in her face, peace at her lot.
