I joined a secret society.  It makes me smile every day.  Work is a pleasure with these ladies.  And, don't be put off by the cursing addendum.  Nor the sex.  It's just the being able to laugh about kids passing gas or saying the oddest things.  It's seeing the humor when someone says something funny.  And not being shy about laughing.  

I didn't write the bylaws...but I said that we needed it. 

Others joined.  We dance.  Seriously....crazily...silly fashion.

And we laugh.

And we aren't snarky.

And we compliment.  And say hello.  And chat.

Ah.

Relief.

Life was getting too serious.

Now, to share the wealth.

Truly.

blessings.
