** Sarah Addison Allen is one of my all time favorite authors. I love every single book!!!! I cannot help but read them multiple times - and fall in love with them all over again. I HIGHLY recommend these books. **
"...Because we are connected as women. It's like a spiderweb. If one part of the web vibrates, if there's trouble, we all know it. But most of the time we're just too scare of selfish or insecure to help. But if we don't help each other, who will?" (audiobook track 4-09)
This is so very true! I don't know if there is anything better in life (other than a happy marriage and happy, healthy kids...but as a single gal, I have the benefit of different priorities) than an amazing female friendship?
I say female because I have been lucky enough to have some AMAZING male friends over the years. Male friends that were always and only male friends. That in and of itself is a huge blessing. But it is categorically different than female friendships. There are times when that is the best element in the world and there are other times when you absolutely need someone else with a high level of estrogen to listen, help, cry, understand, eat ice cream with, etc..
Friends come in all shapes and size; all ages from kiddos to wise octogenarians; various educational and socio-economic backgrounds; differing religions and possibly thousands of miles apart. But the true friendships that last over time can withstand the trials and tribulations of life.
Take a moment to think of some amazing, long-lasting girlfriends and send off a happy email, Facebook post, or even better, an actual snail mail card to brighten her day. Tell her how much you love her and how you appreciate every second of her friendship.
