"Lunch Ladies"

What is it that is so incredibley invigorating about lunch with good girl friends?? You girls know the kind of lunch that I am talking about, the one that you look down at your wrist and your watch portrays that more than two hours have past since you stepped foot in the door of the restaraunt. This lunch is not dependent upon gourmet cuisine, nor the extravegant atmosphere, the lighting or the perfect piece of cheesecake (although I would call it a sin to pass up a good piece of cheesecake on any ocassion). No, you leave a lunch like this feeling like you do because of the company sitting across the table. The conversations jump from subject to subject in only a seconds time, from your kids to your job to the shirt you just bought, to how much you weighed on the scale this morning, from your marriage to your parents and back to your kids. It jumps from serious and substantial, to lighthearted and fun. Ideas are shared and advice is given. It is a time to discuss life, and in this discussion, life is shared and life is made better. Thank you to my "lunch ladies" that make life, and lunch more fun!
