Kindness, Friendship and Galentine's

"If you can find a group of women, any age, who are supportive and kind and love you, that's the best.  I have a group of girlfriends that I would lay in front of a bus for.  They've picked me up through really, really bad times and I can definitely say I've done the same for them."
~ Katie Lowes

When one of my daughters told me she would be celebrating "Galentine's," I thought it was just a cute word play on the Valentine's holiday.  It turns out that Galentine's may have originated on a television show.  But wherever or however it began, it is about celebrating friends -- in this case, girl friends.  As I watched my daughter carefully put together cute gifts for her teenage friends, I thought of the evening I recently spent with my girlfriends from elementary school.  It's wonderful to girlfriends who are with you for the long haul.  We all need our buddies on this life journey.
