Have you noticed that whenever you get together with a friend that all your stress seems to vanish?  I don’t know about you, but there’s just something about visiting with a girlfriend that brightens my day!

I am married to the sweetest guy in the world, but it’s unfair to expect him to meet all my emotional needs. When you talk to your husband or boyfriend about something going wrong in your life, they usually think you want them to fix it. But, all you really want is some understanding or just some one to listen to you as you think out loud!

Most guys would freak out if we talked to them the same way we do our girlfriends. You know how we are: never taking a breath, jumping from one subject to the next in a nanosecond, and taking care of the kids– all at the same time!

I just want to encourage you to spend time with your girlfriends.  Get out of the house if you can, but even a phone call or email would be great!

Remember that by nurturing your friendships you are also nurturing yourself.
