It all started as a fluke idea in a Bonny Doon living room a little more than one year ago. The ramblings of three women desiring nothing more than closeness, companionship and some time mandated for nothing more than that.
This idea; seeming to me as symbolic as the silly pair of pants in that "traveling Pants...." movie. This club keeps us chatting at least once a month. Sometimes more often just to talk but also cheat and burst out with some sort of reaction to the book at hand.
A small idea based solely on two things: the need to be there and a promise to make it a priority.
So far this club of ours has taken us thru the up bringing of a baby girl. This girl experiencing something she'll crave when the time comes- a group of friends like us. We've been through fights, possible divorce, and family hardships. many moments of embarrassment, hangovers, interferences, and most importantly compromise.
The diversity brought to the table is immeasurable and I cherish this experience; this small idea spoken and acted upon. If for nothing else I hope that through the many changes, the new babies to come, the ones that continue to grow, the teenage years-now and in the future; that we try hard to continue this tiny thing that brings us together for a moment to share and feel and be loved.
I love you guys!!!!!
