I just read a study about women and friendships! Even though it was one of those e-mail messages, I still think it is inspiring! It just so happens that Drs. Klein and Taylor(UCLA), found that "social ties reduce our risk of heart disease by lowering blood pressure, heart rate, and cholesterol".

And if that doesn't convince you to nurture those girl-friend ties, listen to this..."The famed Nurses' Health Study from Harvard Medical School found that the more friends women had, the less likely they were to develop physical impairments as they aged, and the more likely they were to be leading a joyful life. In fact, the results were so significant, the researchers concluded, that mot having close friends or confidants was as detrimental to your health as smoking or carrying extra weight!" I think it's time for another Girls Night Out! Hey, it's good for my health!
