A Thought

It's fun and enriching to find ways of being totally yourself without being consumed by what others will think.

Are these not a wonderful bunch of fun looking women??

I was at a rather fancy-shmancy restaurant with a good friend last summer on Victoria Island. The next table over sat this wonderful group of women who were having a fabulous summer evening out with each other. I worked up my nerve to ask them if I could take their picture. They were having SUCH a good time with each other. I asked them what their get-ups were all about–never could get a straight answer outta them. Each response was more ridiculous than the last.

The funnest part was enjoying dinner at my table, and every once in a while after a particularly uproarious joke that one of them told, they would burst into laughter. The paroxysms of hilarity literally ruffled their feathers, and the odd one would fly in the air and float around our table.

It still brings a smile when I think about how unselfconsciously these women brought joy into the restaurant, not only for themselves, but for other patrons–like me!
