Girlfriends Are Fabulous

Doesn’t it seem that when something is bothering us, we think we’re the only person on the planet experiencing whatever that hurdle is?

Weight gain, career issues, family issues (I KNOW my family is weirder than yours)…kids, husband, house…whatever it may be — we believe we are all alone.

And sometimes it’s not really a hurdle, as much as it is a character trait:

I like to pretend I’m a Broadway dancer, play the soundtrack from A Chorus Line and dance around my office.

I’ve never told anyone that small little tid bit, because like so many of us, I’m afraid of being judged or ridiculed — plus who would I tell?

Truth be told, since I left the traditional work place to start The Pet Set, I have less true friends.

Recently, I experienced a blip my personal health screen, which had me worrying for days.

Keeping everything to myself, I reviewed my entire family’s health history and decided that I probably have 2 years to live.

(I’m exhausted just thinking about my crazy thought process.)

Then one day, I decided to have a chat with a friend of mine, who with sensitivity and wisdom, blurted out:

EVERY WOMAN I KNOW is going through what you are describing:->

This does not discount the need for me to get checked out…but boy I sure don’t feel as hopeless or lame.

Share with your girl friends.
