Soulmates and Sex

After a long day at work, followed by working out, I was ready to veg out and watch television--anything would do. I must admit I felt like I hit the jackpot when I heard the theme song from Sex in the City. It's great to get together with old friends, if you know what I mean.


Sure, the Sex in the City posse roved the streets of New York City, and my tribe traveled the freeways of Los Angeles and Orange County for our girls' night out adventures. It was never really about where we were going, or what we would do, it was about the friendships and delving deep into the sisterhood of female soulmates.


After being ensconced in a marriage with a non-communicative mate for many years, it was sheer joy to connect with my female friends. We dressed to the nines, sipped our wine and danced the nights away. Often the best part of the evening was the drive home, highlighted by our 3:00 AM stops at Denny's for breakfast and a review of the night. The food nourished our bodies, and although we did not realize it at the time, we were also nourishing our souls. We did not have mates, but we had something even better--soulmates.


The rerun I saw featured the usual man trouble and the search for true love, but Charlotte's comment to her lunch pals about being each other's soulmates made perfect sense. Besides, who said you can't have more than one soulmate? Who said your soulmate has to be someone of the opposite sex?


Later this week I have a date to see the Sex in the City movie. We will enjoy the movie and the memories. We're having a long overdue girls' night out at the movies. It's the early show and the Denny's restaurant is now closed, but that's okay, we've seen enough sunrises from the 405 Freeway.


We'll have a glass of wine and watch the sun setting over the Pacific as we re-connect our souls.
