I met my friend, Barbara, for dinner late this afternoon. We met in sixth grade and were close friends all the way through high school. I call her when I visit KY, so we've kept up sporadically over the years. We laughed and reminisced, while catching up on each other's lives, as well as other old friends. I especially enjoyed our conversation about our life viewpoints and realized that Barbara and I are on the same page about most things, even though we live over 2000 miles apart, with very different lifestyles.
