Tonight I'm thankful for you. For this group of women and all the different life experiences, perspectives and gifts you have and so freely offer up.
Ever see Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood? Or Steel Magnolias? Boys on the Side? Even Thelma and Louise? I love stories about strong women and the bond that's unique among them.
We're all mothers, wives, sisters, daughters. That we have in common. Past that, our differences weave such a rich and varied tapestry.
The presence of our men on the blog felt strange. Not because we don't love them or want their input or perspective, but because the nature of the banter and the sharing among the girls is, well, different. It's uniquely ours.
Not that I see us driving an old Buick (or whatever that was) off a cliff a la Thelma and Louise - I do think there's something really special about this. About all of you.
So thank you. Thank you for your willingness to share and play on the blog. Your openness about the joy and challenges in your own lives. Your sharing challenges me. And lifts me up. And for that, I am blessed.
We are all blessed. To have found each other - each unique in our own way but each bringing a new perspective to the table. We come from all over and we are so lucky to have found each other at a litle bus stop on the corner of Larkspur and Wisteria.
