Book Club Recap

Well, without a book to bring us back to earth, our conversation soared. It took us a long time even to get around to our questions, and they weren't really questions, it seemed, just topics we wanted to talk about. Vivian asked about traditions -- how have our traditions changed now that we have families, what traditions are we creating with our families? Zelda asked about the places that we came from -- what do we miss? I was curious about siblings -- I wondered how our sibling relationships have changed now that we're all adults.

Of course it's not my place to share other people's stories on the internet. Still, it's safe to say that all of us have come a long way. We've traveled many miles, and we've also come through many difficult experiences. I'm proud to have such intelligent, thoughtful, and courageous women as my friends.

I can now also state from experience that drinking too much tea at night can leave your stomach as unhappy as drinking too much wine. Next time I'll have to be more moderate.
