The holidays are behind us. A new year is ahead of us. And who's here with us - through it all? GIRLFRIENDS! Today we're celebrating our final day in our 12 Days of Friendship - spread over the Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years holidays. We're unwrapping our final present - the gift of girlfriend gratitude.

Do the Holidays make you miss a special girlfriend? Are you sad, lonely or just wish you were 'Christmas-ing' with an old friend? Some people come into our lives & quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts & we are never, ever the same.

It can start with a gesture, a few words, a simple misunderstanding ... and a friendship can tear apart beyond mending. It was a small, especially in light of so many other important things, tiny-small difference of opinion.
We're celebrating the 12 days of Friendship and the Gift of Girlfriends and today's 'gift' - making and sharing memories. I met Barb when we were freshmen in college. Our rooms were across the hall from each other and we spent hours doing 'stuff' freshmen girls do - talking, laughing, figuring out our lives.
