And when my girlfriend is having one of those days the conversations is usually trying to make her laugh. I use humor when my friends are down. I try to pick them up by telling them about the random stupid crap that happened to me recently. and once I have them laughing or at least smiling, I will then fill their head with the reasons why they are awesome and why they make other women jealous to be around them (I just point out their awesome qualities). It sounds silly.. but it works everytime. <em>Kim's last blog post..<a href='http://www.joggingincircles.com/journal/2008/6/12/wordless-wednesday-career-assessment.html' rel="nofollow">Wordless Wednesday - Career Assessment</a></em> The wheels are in motion.. you should be proud of yourself for pushing forward and not looking back.

Remember that the next time you feel like you can't say no. Picture your grandbabies watching you and needing you to do the right/strong/smart thing. I no you won't let them down. And hey, girlfriend. Life is like another kind of cycle; sometimes you have to stop and oil your chain before you can put any more miles on it. Park it. Rest. You can gas up tomorrow and move on :) <em>Half-Past Kissin' Time's last blog post..<a href='http://www.halfpastkissintime.com/2008/06/cant-wait-for-school-to-start.html' rel="nofollow">Can't Wait for School to Start?</a></em> Breaking that cycle is a gift to yourself daughter, and to your future grandchildren.

I have this habit of empathizing with whoever I'm talking to with that phrase. BFF tells me that her Grams died, I apologize. BFF tells me that she wore two unmatching socks, I apologize. BFF tells me she peed her pants while in Target, I laugh, while apologizing. Then, the next few lines would probably come out (in no order): I love you. Wanna hear about *MY* day? You are fabulous. Thank you for remembering my birthday when I was a shit head and forgot yours. At least you didn't poop your pants in Nordstroms ... it was just pee in Target! I love you. Want a beer? I have one left and I will give it to you.* You did the right thing. I have faith in you. Tomorrow is another day. You can do this. I love you. *This might mean more than "I love you" to my BFFs. <em>The Queen of Whale Penises's last blog post..<a href='http://giraffeparade.wordpress.com/2008/06/10/love-me-love-my-needs/' rel="nofollow">Love me, love my needs</a></em> If one of my BFFs (I have two … get over it) were having “one of those days,” the first thing I would tell her is “I’m sorry.” I have this habit of empathizing with whoever I’m talking to with that phrase.
