Di and I |
When I
started this blog I was inspired by a book authored by Diane Muldrow, a friend
of mine since high school (See Blog Day 1)! Her
first book, Everything I Need to Know I Learned From a Little Golden Book, is like a flash back to your childhood
and reminds us how those little books in so many ways, spoke the truth about
life. Her latest book, Everything I Need to know I learned From a Disney Little Golden Book states, “Magic is
something we can make ourselves! Start with a friend, a true-Baloo friend”.
That is just what I did when I spent time with Diane and a few other high school friends.

Reflection
There is
nothing like reminiscing about your childhood. That is why the Little Golden
Books are so appealing even as an adult. Likewise, spending time with your good friends from high school is so comforting
and with ease you fall back into a
familiar rhythm of laughing and telling
stories.
It does not matter how "successful" you are as adults, when you're with good friends, you're back in high school, you're all on the same playing
field, and your're enjoying the time remembering. It
seems like people really don’t change much from who they were in high school even if their profession, marriage, financial status, or appearance
change; their core is constant.

It is great to
share the past with friends and to keep
close those friends that you share a past with! This is going to always stay in
my survival tool box and so will reading Little Golden Books.
Spiritual Reflection
There are “friends”
who destroy each other, but a real
friend sticks closer than a brother
( Proverbs 18:24)
Two people
can accomplish more then twice as much as one;
they get a better return for their labor. If one person falls, the other
can reach out and help.( Ecclesiastes 5:9,10)
