If you know me at all, you know I’m sentimental. Today was the day I let go of an old friend. For 33 years we have been together. Our relationship was forged in my youth wi
th other brothers in arms through blood, sweat, and tears. And truth be told a couple of broken bones in the mix too.
It’s been my constant companion training for multiple marathons and too many cool days to number. There are not many things that take me back to when life seemed simpler. Though I’m a little older and a little wiser now what I considered simpler times were times that I was just unaware of the world around me. About time you grow up, you wear out. At least it feels that way to me.
But due to multiple rips, stains that Tide found impossible to address, and thinning of material it was time. It doesn’t mean as much to you because you don’t have the shared experience. That’s what I’m learning about relationships.
It’s also time for a new chapter; new level of awareness; and I think its time for a new hoodie. Soon as I make the acquaintance of my new partner I’ll be delighted to introduce you. It’s in the works and I couldn’t be more excited.
PS: And to my fellow Alumni, “Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog”.
