Girls' talk

 Who said if 2 or more women meet , we can only gossip and spend money on clothes, shoes, and bags? We actually doing something good for our health! 

I always know that I need a girl talk, a girlfriends time, no matter where. It is just different from husband and wife things. The quality time with our spouse is also important but quality time with girlfriends is also good! I do love to have lunch or catch a chick movie! Imagine to watch a chick movie with our husband? It won't be the same like if we watch it with bunch of GFs.

So it is important for our husband to understand also that.. even we love them but we still need a space with our friends. And it is also healthy for our husband to have their own friends to hang out too!

And in case our husbands need an evidence.. here is the article to read :

In a class at Stanford, the lecturer (head of psychiatry at Stanford) said in his topic of the relationship between stress and disease that one of the best things that a man could do for his health is to be married to a woman whereas for a woman, one of the best things she could do for her health was to nurture her relationships with her girlfriends.  At first everyone laughed, but he was serious.

Women connect with each other differently and provide support systems that help each other to deal with stress and difficult life experiences. Physically this quality "girlfriend time" helps us to create more serotonin--a neurotransmitter that helps combat depression and can create a general feeling of well being.  Women share feelings whereas men often form relationships around activities. They rarely sit down with a buddy and talk about how they feel about certain things or how their personal lives are going.  Jobs? Yes.   Sports? Yes.   Cars? Yes. Fishing, hunting, golf?  Yes.  But their feelings?--rarely. Women do it all of the time. We share from our souls with our sisters, and evidently that is very good for our health.  He said that spending time with a friend is just as important to our general health as jogging or working out at a gym.

There's a tendency to think that when we are "exercising" we are doing something good for our bodies, but when we are hanging out with friends, we are wasting our time and should be more productively engaged--not true.  In fact, he said that failure to create and maintain quality personal relationships with other humans is as dangerous to our physical health as smoking!  So every time you hang out to schmooze with a gal pal, just pat yourself on the back and congratulate yourself for doing something good for your health!  We are indeed very, very lucky.   Sooooo let's toast to our friendship with our girlfriends. Evidently it's very good for our health. 

So when will we have our lunch together again ? :) Miss u all!! And so glad we can keep connected through the virtual social network!
