Book Club

I had a wonderful experience today with eight other women.  Smart women.  Women who laugh and think and learn and love just like I do.  It was such an empowering thought, to have such strong people all aligned.  It was the first meeting of a book club that came about recently.  The book was amazing to some, bearable to others.  The discussion was honest and focused.  I was impressed, not because i didn't think this would happen, but because of the way that it actually did happen- all around me and with me.  It's hard to explain sometimes, but i live for thinking.  And while i do have to think quite a bit at my day to day job, it's more of the split-second, 'wait, don't stand on the arm of the chair on one foot holding your glass of orange juice over my ipod' kind of thoughts.  this afternoon was a leisurely kind of, 'hmmm, i had not thought of it that way, let me now do so.  ah yes, i see' kind of thinking day.  it was wonderful!  
i love my friends, old and new, and i loved that everyone came together in such a cohesive unit.  it's a great feeling to look around and know that you had something to do with the positivity surrounding you!


thank you, book clubbers!  i am anxiously awaiting next month's meeting!  i may even try to think again before then.  we'll see if i succeed!
