Girlfriends[video]

This is a blog about all the girlfriends that have changed my life and have made it better. We all have them. Maybe you have one, maybe you have a group, maybe you have old friends and new.

It's either a hug or just a good laugh or maybe a good cry. Lately I've been going through some rough personal things and it is my girlfriends that have been there everystep of the way. I remember calling one of my best friends every single day. Morning and night, it didn't matter...she was always there for me. She'd come visit me every weekend and she doesn't live close. It's this kind of friend I call my sister not just my friend! She knows me inside and out, sometimes better than my family. And now as I enter an exciting period of my life, yet bumpy still at times, I have found wonderful new friends as well. They keep me grounded, smiling and make me feel so positive and help me get through anything. These are the girls that are here for me everyday and make sure I am ok. And my girls who've been with me my entire life. The ones I grew up with, all of those great stories from High School and everything else in between and we will continue to always be there for each other no matter what. They've helped sculpt my way to Motherhood and being the woman I am today. It's my girlfriends that truly have touched my heart and life and I hope they know exactly how I feel. As a Mom of a daughter, the power I can give her, is to teach her true friendship with girlfriends. And as I watch her with her little girlfriends, they rally around each other and cheer each other on and really care about each other. I am very proud of that. So today..for me-- say to your friends, Sue told me to call you..., "Thank you, you've changed my life and I'm so lucky to have you in my life."

This is what I mean, one of my besties wrote this on my Facebook wall and I thought I'd share-----Remember this... Someone is lucky to talk to you, blessed to know you, a better person for having you in their life.... ♥♥ To have this in my life, I am truly blessed! :)

Did you ever sit back and think to yourself, "Am I a good girlfriend?" Take the Quiz

Here's what mine said after the quiz!

You're too good a friend

You have trouble being honest with your friends, and chances are, you also have trouble being honest with yourself. Linda Sapadin, PhD, a practicing psychologist in Valley Stream, New York, suggests asking yourself whether you're too much of a giver. If the answer is yes, you need to find some balance. "Don't be afraid to be more up front with your friends," says Dr. Sapadin. They will respect you more for it in the long run and your relationships will stand on more solid ground and become better cultivated because of it. If you tend to agree with your friends because you don't want a confrontation or plans are rarely made on your time, you could suffer from what Sapadin calls "friendly burn-out." Sooner or later, your constant sacrifice will take its toll. Learn how to say, "No" more often and be aware of your personal limitations. A good friend can only do so much. The best friends are aware of and honest about this.

And just like the words to the opening of "The Golden Girls," it's so true!
