Ah, women. How I love this WOW group. After one year together of dinners and speakers and meals at restaurants, we got together tonight for a book exchange. The idea was to talk about books we've read and enjoyed and to loan or give away books we've already read. Our book choices showed us to be more than a group of fun and beautiful women, but also a group of women who think and feel and connect with the world. OK, some of us admit to enjoying our "chick-lit" books, those lovely diversions starring strong women who conquer their worlds. We read books on finance to ethnic literature to metaphysics - and everything in between.
No matter what events we share, we women bring great riches to the table. We share in the commonality that we all love, we yearn, we think, we strive, we succeed, we fail - but we go forward, risking more pain, hoping for more joy, with hearts as big as the sky. And we have fun together and sometimes we laugh so hard that we cry - this kind of pleasure that women bring to each other that can't be found with men. There aren't the right words to describe this women bonding, how we get together, even with newcomers amongst us, and can speak our hearts and comfort each other during sadness and share the joys of our sucesses, just because we are women. And we understand.
I'll say it again and again, that you have all enriched my life beyond measure. I find joy in your company, I cherish your comforting and encouraging words, and am honored that you bless me with who you are. You beautiful women.
