Give Thanks – For Friendship and Thanksgiving
Without the Pilgrims, would we show gratitude for all the wonderful people in our lives? Would we say stop and say THANKS? Would we ponder our blessings?
I would hope so. I’d hope that would be part of our nature – to feel gratitude, and express it. I would hope.
Today’s Girlfriendology newsletter (which you can get sent to YOU, for free, every Friday or with our Daily Inspiration newsletters Monday-Thursday – click orange tab to the left to sign up – thanks!!) features this holiday of giving thanks with our a dose of ‘inspiration, appreciation and celebration of girlfriends.’ Happy Thanksgiving girlfriend! May you have a day (and life) filled with gratitude!

Dear Girlfriend,
For my nearby girlfriends (like Anne, Judy, Linda and Penny) who make it a great neighborhood …
For my college buddies (like Barb, Deana, Rhonda and Dana) who have cared about our friendship for a lot of years …
For my local gal pals (like Becky, Joan, Tina and Allison) who ‘do life’ with me and encourage me on a daily basis …
For my long distance girlfriends (like Terri, Amy, Lindy and Patty) who never feel very far away …
For all the women who bless my life (like Jill, Carole, Cath and Tammy) with their love, support and friendship …
… I AM THANKFUL.
Who are YOU thankful for this Thanksgiving? What girlfriends are there for you in good and bad times? Who brightens your day with their friendship, kind emails, comic relief or generousity?
Give thanks for your friends – and share it with them! Be the girlfriend you’d love to have. Because life really is better, together with your girlfriends!

“Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action.“
W.J. Cameron
Give thanks. It’s a pretty clear command. That’s what this day, this season is all about.
It’s the ‘appreciation’ part of our mission. It’s kindness and consideration. It’s goodness and gratitude. It’s FRIENDSHIP.
It’s the thing we should do 365 days a year, and thankfully, we are reminded of it during this special week.
Stop by Girlfriendology this week. We’ll look at ways to express our girlfriend gratitude. We’ll share more about giving thanks. We’ll encourage and inspire each other – that’s what girlfriends do.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving. And THANK YOU for being part of the Girlfriendology community!
Debba Haupert, Girlfriendology founder
