I don't know what made me think of Gypsy (not her real name) today. I haven't talked to her in about 3 and a half years. It's a long story, but suffice it to say that we just had a difference of opinion and each said our peace and then sortve moved on. But, Gypsy had been a good friend and I figured I'd see if she was doing all right. Turns out the email I had for her was still valid and we did a little back and forth emailing today.
I enjoy reconnecting with people but there is always a bit of fear... fear that they will not like the direction my life has taken in the past few (or even several) years. But I keep reconnecting because I find that there have been more positive interactions to come of it than negative.
I also made some of the first steps toward working on a new project today. There are quite a few things that need to be done to bring it to fruition, but I am gathering together the materials that I need and then I can move forward on getting it done. If it proves successful, it could be the start of something really cool and I am looking forward to seeing it all fall into place. I don't expect it will be easy, but I am excited about it.
Tomorrow is my least favorite day at work. Tomorrow, I will work on reconciling the purchasing card transactions. It's a pain in the ass and I dislike it alot but it must be done. (Very similar to cleaning the litter box... which also must be done, because tomorrow is trash day).
More on the project as it becomes viable.

Reconnecting with old friends is always a fun, yet scary thing to do. There have been times that I have wanted to try to reconnect but haven't because I was not quite sure how they would take it. Sometimes, like how you did it, you just have to take that first step. You never know what might come of it. ;-)
"fear that they will not like the direction my life has taken in the past"
I have the same fear with my past, but it's mine and screw them for thinking ill of me. If we are friends, they will understand that my transgressions are all I have left. Nice post.
reconciliations with friends are cool, but accounting reconciliations suck ass.
@jeluttrull - I've had pretty good luck so far. Just one that didn't go well.
@justjp - Very true. If they mind they don't matter and if they matter they don't mind!
@verybadcat - Yes, accounting reconciliations are no fun. At all.
It's good that you aren't afraid to touch base every once in a while. Why would you worry that someone doesn't like your life, it's yours? Good luck on the project.
People change. It's finding out in which direction they've changed that is the suspense. You don't know until you find out. 50/50 if it will be to your liking or not. Hold your nose and take the Plunge.
May you never be one of those people who lives a life you're sure others will approve of.
I can't wait to hear about the new project.
