Girlfriends

I've been thinking, lately. I know, that could be a bad thing. But it's about having friends. Girlfriends. Well, I guess guy friends too, but I doubt any guys are reading this besides my husband and that's a big MAYBE. :)

I 've just been thinking about all of the great friends I've made during my life...in grade school, middle school, high school, college, and beyond. Like I said, I'm mainly talking about GIRLfriends here, but there have been a few guys that have been great friends too. I'm talking about ones that you can talk to about anything, lean on at all times, tell your darkest and deepest secrects, cry to, listen to, help, get help from, etc.
Girlfriends are important.
Don't lose or let go of the good ones.
I have a few good ones in my life right now. I may not tell them enough, but I appreciate them so much. And I have also let good ones go. I'm not sure how that happens. Life, I guess. But here is a shout out to all of you...and I think you know who you are. Love you, ladies! No matter if I haven't talked to you for years. You mean a lot to me and I will never forget what we have gone through together.
All of you have helped me grow some way in my life. And for that, I thank you. All of you.
Here are just a few of my girlfriends throughout my life. I stole their pics from Facebook, so I hope they don't kill me. :)  Oh, and for my only friend that doesn't have a Facebook page...you would be on here to if you had one.

These, of course, are not ALL of the girlfriends I've had in my life.  Just a few...

I found this site and I agree with what it says...

The Importance of Friendship

Friendship plays a major role in an ordinary person’s life. Having few good friends is like a blessing. They say a friend is need is a friend indeed. But that will be like seeing a blessing in a micro term. A friend is someone who is always beside you, not just during the times of need. Having a relationship as beautiful and pure as friendship works on several layers. You can confide in someone. You can always share your stuff with a friend. You will always find your friend standing for you during the times of distress and sadness. Experts say, a person with good friend circle lives a longer and healthier life. They are the best medicine for our boredom. Sending friendship sms and cards make our lives exciting and fun.

Agree, one also has the support of parents, lover, kids and siblings but having a friend is like a shot in the arm. A knight in the shining armor, your mate offers you wonderful health benefits. Friends are known to improve your immunity system. Apart from acting as a wonderful support system, friends can keep you motivated and can also comfort you. Relationships provide us stability. They are an amazing source of relaxation.

In this world where you will find cut-throat competition at every place, having a good friend is a great source of relief. It’s all give and take in a relationship. People should be motivated and inspired enough to make new friends and cherish older ones.
