Daily Inspiration: What is a Friend?
What is a Friend?
Since our first girlfriends in childhood, we’ve grown up with the wonderful relationships of friends. Through our adolescence to our current life stage, we’ve grown, learned, shared and cared about the females in our lives who helped make us who we are today.
It does stop to think about this relationship that makes women healthier, happier, less stressed, live longer and feel more beautiful. Like today’s Daily Inspiration. What is a friend? And what can you do to be a better friend?

Monday, November 16, 2009 A True Friend
|
 When asked what is a friend, Taoist philosopher Chuang Tzu responded with a question.
“Who can live together without any special effort to live together and help each other without any special effort to help each other?”
The answer: a true friend.
From: The Secret Life of Girlfriends
Dear Girlfriend,
Getting children ready for an early school bus, running a marathon, mastering the Art of French Cooking, fitting into jeans from High School … some things take a lot of effort. Fortunately, female friendship doesn’t.
It’s the little things that count between friends – sending a birthday card or eCard, a call to check in on the latest updates, a surprise visit or a friendly note. It’s just connecting, showing an interest, and being supportive of each other.
It’s those little things that make it a special relationship – not a special effort. It’s doing life together and helping each other – the way friends do.
Who is your true friend? Why not call, tweet, email or visit her to make her day special? It’s doesn’t take much effort and is way easier (and more fun!) than training for a marathon or struggling with some old jeans!
Remember … life really is better, together with your girlfriends!
Have a fun, friend-filled Monday!
