What Kind of Life Would It Be Without Our Girlfriends?

Since I first wrote this blog, it has become even clearer to me how important girlfriends are in our lives. We feel that our friends will be there forever, and there is enough time down the road to get together. Unfortunately, it can become more difficult to spend time with them as we age. Many of us will face health challenges, either our own or our partners, which will consume much of our time. Some days, even a phone call will seem impossible to fit into our day. In spite of this, we must remember that taking even a few minutes to connect, is precious time we will always cherish. We must take time before we have no time.

I have no idea what a man thinks about their friends, or whether they have a need to hang with the guys at times. However, as a woman, I know how important our girlfriends are to us.
From the time we are young girls, we start making best friends. Of course, as we grow and mature many of these childhood friendships fade away; we make new friends that take their place. But there are some of our girlfriends that are with us throughout our lifetime.

Our "new" friends are very important, and I believe they come into our lives for a reason. What they have to offer in terms of friendship is exactly what we need, and vice versa. Some of them will leave our lives once their purpose is complete; others will become one of our lifetime friends.

Our lifetime friends we have a bond with that cannot be broken. Even if hundreds or thousands of miles separate us, when we get together everything meshes and it's like no time has passed at all since we last were together. Every memory from the past seems like yesterday, and we share them over and over with warmth and love.

Women need their girlfriends; to laugh with, to cry with, and to share things they cannot share with the men in their lives. There are some things only another woman understands. We need their friendship and advice to make some decisions. We may know what to do but want their opinion before moving forward.

Taking time to be with our female friends lifts our spirits and rejuvenates our soul. It prepares us to return to our daily routine with renewed energy. Great for us, and good for our families.

Here's to our girlfriends.... the blessed angels of our lives.
