High-Low-High

I have 13 childhood best friends.  Seriously – 13!  And I still think each and every one of them are the bomb.com.  I am so lucky!  One way we kept in touch throughout college was to send daily emails summarizing our high-low-high’s for the day.  I so wish we had saved those emails, they would make for an amazing (and probably somewhat humiliating) book!  Ok, a really humiliating book, possibly incriminating, but definitely hysterical!

The game is simple.  You name a great thing about life or your day (whatever floats your boat – nothing’s off limits big or small), then a bad thing, and then a good thing again.  The only rule to the game is that you have to end on a high note.  No ifs, ands or buts.  You can have 200 lows but you have to end on a high!

As we’ve gotten older we still start a high-low-high email chain every now and then.  It’s a great way to keep in touch without having to send a massive life update email, super easy to respond to and overall a great way to learn both the big and little things going on in each other’s lives.  It’s also a great way to get your kids talking at the dinner table or a great ice breaker in those really awkward moments when no one has anything to say.  It’s basically the greatest game ever and I think everyone should find a way to incorporate it into their lives.

I’ve shared a lot about myself on this blog and now I really want to get to know you, my readers.  So to get that relationship going, I want to start the game here.  I’ll go first and then you guys leave your high-low-high in the comments below!

High – I got 2 awesome packages in the mail this week – one was new sneakers from my dad (the perks of your father working for a running company) and one with cocktail ingredients included.  Day made!

Low – All of my pants are way too tight so I’m forcing myself to eat lettuce instead of nachos for a few days.  Torture!

High – After writing this post I’m sitting here thinking about those 13 amazing people referenced above.  Grateful is an understatement.
