HERE SOMETHING GOES TO ALL THE GIRLS, LADIES ,WOMEN And GENTLE SEX. Though I really don't have many girlfriends in reality I guess I can count on some of the girls here.To all my dear girlfriends on Linda land of present or are going to be. -------------------------------------------- A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day drinking iced tea and visiting with her mother. As they talked about life, marriage, the responsibilities of life and the obligations of adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glance upon her daughter. "Don't forget your girlfriends," she advised, swirling the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass. "They'll be more important as you get older. No matter how much you love your husband, no matter how much you love the children you'll have, you are still going to need girlfriends. Remember to go places with them now and then, do things with them. And remember that 'girlfriends' are not only your friends but your sisters, daughters, and other female relatives too. You'll need other women. Women always do."
"What a funny piece of advice," the young woman thought. "Didn't I just get married? Haven't I just joined the couple-world? I'm now a married woman for goodness sake, a grown-up, not a young girl who needs girlfriends! Surely my husband and the family we'll start will be all I need to make my life worthwhile!" But she listened to her mother, she kept contact with her girlfriends and befriended more each year. As the years rolled by, one after another, she gradually came to understand that her mom really knew what she was talking about. As time and nature work their changes and their mysteries upon a woman, girlfriends are the mainstays of her life. After 55 years of living in this world, here is what I've learned: Time passes Life happens Distance separates Children grow up Love waxes and wanes Hearts break Careers end Jobs come and go Parents die Colleagues forget favors Men don't call when they say they will BUT girlfriends are there, no matter how much time and how many miles between you. A girlfriend is never further away then needing her can reach. When you have to walk that lonesome valley, and you have to walk it for yourself, your girlfriends will be on the valley's edge, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end. Sometimes they will even break the rules and walk beside you, or come in andcarry you out. Our daughters, sisters, mothers, sisters-in-law, mothers-in-law, aunties, nieces, cousins, extendedfamilies and friends bless our lives. The world wouldn't have been the same without them and neither would we. When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible journey or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor would we know how much we would need each other, and how we need each other still. Pass this on to other women who make your life work - I just did ---------------------------------------------

Aw Its so true though... I have a great example... My sister in law is my bestest girl friend ever. We're very close. She's more like my sister than my husband's. Hubby and I were going through some tough times and we separated for a spell. (All is well now.) Well... I had to throw him out. I was beyond distraught. I can't imagine another time in my life when I was in more pain. My SIL was by my side the whole time... all my girlfriends were, actually... but, specifically her. Even though he is her brother. Even though they share blood... she was there for her girl. Good girlfriends are so important! IP: Logged |

Thanks for posting that Freebird, I found it very moving.Despite my preference for the male gender, I have to admit earlier this year it was a female friend who came in and "saved" me. Although I love my man dearly, at that time he couldnt have done what she did - she empathised - she had been there - thro the darkest of times. She said what I was going thro, she had just come out of. When she looked and me and said certain words, I felt like a huge weight lifting from me. She shook me rigid but in a good way! She is a Cancer with Leo Asc!! I spoke of her today and then saw her in our local village, we hugged for what seemed an age - I love her!! She is a fantastic astrologer and healer, she always says I "stir her up" - she soothes me and I am so glad I know her. We lift each other up - she has helped me with lots of things, iike gaining understanding in to why people are the way they are. Funnily enough my marriage has improved since I met her too, and I can honestly say now, my man could be there for me if theres a next time, I know he could..................but women are different, we need each other........... lets love and support each other and not fight hey? Love to all Sue xxx xxx

The day all women understand that we really do need each other the better off we will all be. I never understood a women not having ANY girlfriends or atleast 1. There is just some situations I need advice from a women.. I have so many girlfriends like 3 sets of girlfriends. The girlfriends that I had growing up (yes we are still friends) the girlfriends I had as I got up ito my teen early 20's and the girlfriends that I have met along the way after that. I do not think that I have a girlfriend under 5 years of knowing each other. Friends are important (my Aqua moon talking)I always said whenever I gt married I must have a big wedding and it is going to be a large wedding party.. In order to have a friend first you have to be a friend... IP: Logged |

Mama Mia :You are good at preserving firends that's nice. I hope I could do the same.Sue g: I hardly meet any Cancer girls. The ones whom I meet are for short time but then whenever I see one we really hit well. Talk about family,friends,past,history,people,etc.All the emotions start flowing. Day Dreamer: You're welcome ! quote: Awww I love all my girlfriends, even the ones I don't talk to anymore
I would say the same thing. IP: Logged | |
