But I will never get tired of talking/posting about it. Four more days until I am at Ashram, and Joy is at Ashram too :-) It has been a long time since I have had a sibling that is actually related to me there, and I say it's about time. Someone whom I won't mention names ::cough:: Laralyn ::cough:: was making fun of me on Monday about really like little old ladies... but it's not just liking little old ladies, it's being with people who know what it is to struggle, who know what it is to be there for you, who understand that you don't always know why things happen, or even what is happening. People who are full of wisdom, especially when that wisdom is knowing that a good long hug can sometimes just lift the burdens off of your shoulders, at least for a time.
I don't understand when people tell me that they can't relate to adults. Yes you can probably have a conversation with them, but they "don't understand". I just don't get that. I would say that probably when it really comes down to it, and I've been thinking about this a lot being as I am so incredibly excited about Ashram: Some of my closest friends, the people that I trust, the people that I know are there for me, are pushing 60 or even 70. So if you don't understand how someone could relate to a person 50 years older than you, just know, it can happen, and if you come to Ashram you could see it, and I am 99% sure that you would come away with another friend at least 40 years older than you are.
