The Importance of Girlfriends

Today I ran into Millicent a woman I’ve known for awhile. She can only be described as a firecracker- full of energy and spirit. Not an adjective you would typically use to describe a 90 year old woman. I’ve asked Millicent what keeps her young. She’s told me time and time again, its her girlfriends. She makes spending time with her friends a priority in her life. She “gives” to them- her time, her spirit, her essence. In doing so, she brings joy into her own life. Giving is truly the key to her happiness. Amazing, but just the way she is. It’s a good reminder for me too and I sure do hope I have ½ of her energy at 90!
