Ok - Time really, really did fly this time! I got to fly with it (on a plane - that counts, doesn't it?) but the flying was short compared to the days that flew by...zing...zip..wheeeee!
For those who have been following this blog site, you will remember the P.R. I put in about the FIGT (Families in Global Transition) conference. Well, the conference is now in past tense for the year 2007...but what a great conference! Got to meet some really great folks - all working in areas that directly impact families who are either going overseas or are returning from overseas. I also got to meet some great authors (Robin Pascoe, Jo Parfitt are two) and chat with them. In fact, Robin has given me excerpts from her most recent book to use in the upcoming issues of Among Worlds magazine!
One of the best experiences I had was not at the conference, but after the conference. I had the chance to meet up with some folks who graduated from the same boarding school I attended. We really DO change a lot over 30+ years, and oh, the fun of catching up and looking at old photos!
It was such a great feeling to see C.H. and Y.C. plus the others who joined us at a Malaysian restaurant there in Houston. And the stories we told - on each other!
Then came the hard part - saying our farewells. Yet I left still feeling elated - because we didn't really say "good-bye", but more of a "talk to you on the phone, email, etc." - as though we aren't truly leaving each others' presence anymore!
Reunions are great...and I know some of you have been to reunions this year - or are planning to attend one later this year.
Until I catch up with myself,
Margie
