The Friendships of Women

I have been blessed with a great group of girlfriends. As I watch Sex and the City, I noticed that my friends are very similar to the characters portrayed on the show. E is like Miranda...very serious and takes the matter-of-fact approach to life. Then there is L whom is very much like Charlotte...the lover of happy endings. Next there is C who is somewhat like Samantha...vivacious and very unpretentious. That leaves myself as Carrie...the writer and the one that would probably sacrifice a meal or two for a great pair of shoes! Sad to say, but true.

I love my friends. We are all so very different, but yet, we complement one another in such a marvelous way. I often wonder what people think when they see us gathered in one of our favorite eateries. Do they think, "What an eclectic mix of women." Sometimes our laughter is so intense that the entire restaurant will turn in our direction. Though we share laughter, often there are times when our meetings require the understanding and compassion that only the friendships of women can provide.

I take great comfort in time spent with my friends. Together we share laughter, love, life and loyalty!
