The Beauty of a Woman's Mind

I sat next to an acquaintance last week at a scout meeting. We've never talked much, although we have served on the same committee for the past six months. But when has the lack of a friendship stopped women from talking?


During that hour and a half meeting, she and I:
discussed her hysterectomy,
actively participated in the meeting,
sang Christmas carols,
discussed her children,
discussed my children,
made tie/fleece blankets to donate to a shelter,
learned about each other's jobs,
shared our opinions of certain teachers,
interacted with several other families,
discussed roller coaster libidos, and
took our scouts to visit with Santa.
Additionally,
she made a brief presentation
and she may have learned as much about me as I did about her.


It was a very fulfilling night, and it made me once again appreciate the amazing
multi-tasking mind of women.







P.S. When I Googled "female symbols" why did I get images of butt-lifts?

So many people fail to realize that we get so much more back when we volunteer than what we put in. I'm glad you had a good time and nurtured a friendship in the process.
