National Girlfriends Day

National Girlfriends Day
What would most of us do without our sisters, confidants and shopping, lunching, and traveling girls?
Let's celebrate each other for each other's sake!
TO MY GIRLFRIENDS!

It is good to be a woman:

1. We got off the Titanic first.

2. We can scare male bosses with the mysterious gynecological disorder excuses.

3. Taxis stop for us.

4. We don't look like a frog in a blender when dancing.

5. No fashion faux pas we make, could ever rival the Speedo.

6. We don't have to pass gas to amuse ourselves.

7. If we forget to shave, no one has to know.

8. We can congratulate our teammate without ever touching her rear end.

9. We never have to reach down every so often to make sure our privates are still there.

10. We have the ability to dress ourselves.

11. We can talk to the opposite sex without having to picture them naked.

12. If we marry someone 20 years younger, we are aware that we will look like an idiot.

13. We will never regret piercing our ears.

14. There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems.

15. We can make comments about how silly men are in their presence because they aren't listening anyway.

Send this to all the bright women you know and make their day!!!!!

Little Chick, here's to you and all my other girlfriends!


Girlfriends bring you casseroles and scrub your bathroom when you need help.
Girlfriends keep your children and keep your secrets.
Girlfriends give advice when you ask for it. Sometimes you take it, sometimes
you don't.
Girlfriends don't always tell you that you're right, but they're usually
honest.
Girlfriends still love you, even when they don't agree with your choices.
Girlfriends laugh with you, and you don't need canned jokes to start the
laughter.
Girlfriends pull you out of jams.
Girlfriends help you get out of bad relationships.
Girlfriends help you look for a new apartment, help you pack, and help you
move.
Girlfriends will give a party for your son or daughter when they get married
or have a baby, in
whichever order that comes!
Girlfriends are there for you, in an instant when the hard times come.
Girlfriends will drive through blizzards, rainstorms, hail, heat, and the
gloom of night to get to you when your
hour of need is desperate.
Girlfriends listen when you lose a job or a friend.
Girlfriends listen when your children break your heart.
Girlfriends listen when your parents' minds and bodies fail.
Girlfriends cry with you when someone you loved dies.
Girlfriends support you when the men in your life let you down.
Girlfriends help you pick up the pieces when men pack up and go.
Girlfriends rejoice at what makes you happy, and are ready to go out and kill
what makes you unhappy.

Times passes. Life happens. Distance separates. Children grow up. Marriages
fail. 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 are
between you. A girlfriend is never
farther away than 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 rim, 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 and carry you out.

Mothers, sisters , sisters-in-law, mother-in-law, nieces, cousins, extended
family, and friends bless my life! The world wouldn't be the same without them,
and neither would I. When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had
no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how
much we would need each other. Every day, we need each other still.

How true.

L.C. and Ellis, thanks for posting this. I showed L.C.'s to my DH and we both enjoyed it, and Ellis's made me feel good, and it is so true. The world could just not go on without us.
