Alma Mater Matters

Last night I had a social gathering with my fellow alumnae. It was good to be just me again, not mommy for a minute, not Mrs....., but just a former student talking about my current life. Laughing over a glass of wine and some sweets it was a small, warm group of us.


I am never sure I will make these little events or who I will meet, but I did see a familiar face or two and met some new friends as well. It really has been such a comfort in fitting in out here in Texas to have a bit of my old school here. Honestly, it makes me want to stay despite the wish to live elsewhere. It is nice to feel I wasn't alone seeing my old school as an outsider or trying to acclimatize to actual winters after the eternal sun of my childhood. And that I still have a place I undeniably belong, if I choose to engage.
