I see I’m a little behind on my reading, but I love this. Friends are so important! More so with every passing year. I’m going to post this on my FB page as a reminder to “call a friend”! Thanks!

Mary Eileen — Thank you kindly, mi’lady! Good to know that a big ol’ bunch of us really like who and how we are at this age. Honestly, I just feel like I’m nearing completion! ‘Bout time, eh?

It’s not surprising that we fiftyish “bloomers” are all thinking the same. I’ve just devoted my last couple of posts to my girlfriends and the many blessings they provide. Now you tell me I will likely live longer because of them. I KNEW they were life-savers!

This post is so lovely! I’m sure we all appreciate what having friends means, and appreciate everything that they are and do for us. Having a community of women who want to reach out and make friends across the nation is what we’re about at http://www.womenetcetera.com. I hope you’ll become a friend too!

I to have a very good friend, we met in school many years ago, we’ve both moved away, but we still keep in touch, you always know a true friend, and she is my true dear friend.

What would we do without our friends and where would we end up? My friends have pulled me through some bitter days – what a blessing …angels who laugh with us, let us cry, and be ourselves. It’s sure nice to let it all hang out with my girlfriends!

Eileen,
What a beautiful post! You are so true. It has been my girlfriends who have seen me through so many difficult times in my life. And they have been there to celebrate the wonderful happenings. My aunt told me once a long time ago that “children grow up and move on, husbands may come and go (hopefully not!), but girlfriends are forever!” And I’m happy to have found a whole new group of friends in my Diva sisters!

Eileen, I couldn’t agree with you more. I have friends in my life now who have been a God send in so many ways. My Boomer Nation Sisters, are accepting of one another and the encouragement is priceless. Good topic!

What a beautiful post and picture…is that you? Yes, you’re right, we’ve been through so many things in recent years, and there’s nothing like a good friend to share with that knows just what you’re going through.

Truer words were never written – if it weren’t for my friends I doubt I’d still be around – for many reasons!
But I prefer the phrase “A friend is one who knows all about you and accepts all of you – the good and the bad – because they know that is what makes you You!”
