What is it about some people that just make you feel like you can confess? I seem to be one of those people to whom others feel comfortable offering up the deep, dark stuff. But there are some people with whom I immediately feel that way too & just spill it. And I mean stuff I have barely admitted to myself. It happened today in Target. No - I didn't just grab a stranger and start unburdening myself. I ran into a friend, a particularly cool friend from book club (who is an acupuncturist - you know who you are!) and within seconds I was (we were) chatting away about all sorts of things - lady things/mom things - just things. Do men do this? I don't think so, which is just one more reason I'm happy to be a woman.
