There are many people in our lives, I like to think, that serve a purpose whether it be immediately recognizable or not. I’ve found that as I have navigated through my life, that relationships are at the center of everything that happens.   I’ve just returned from an annual trip to Phoenix, Arizona with nine girl friends.  Our “waiting to exhale” weekend has morphed into a “waiting to exhale, ya ya sisterhood, Phoenix Phillies whole week of fun, food, exploration and shopping.  I must admit we did our best to stimulate the economies of Phoenix and Sedona.  Girl friends are with you through good times and bad.  They support you through bad relationships, ailing parents, marriages, job loss, a crazy boss, disappointments with children, forgotten promises.  They love you even if they disagree with your choices.  Girl friends become even more important as you age. So choose wisely.  I know I did!
