Today I have opted to write about something I did this week for someone that I think made them happy - or at least was helpful.I have a friend who really wants to have a baby, unfortunately it isn't exactly the right time for her. She wanted help in how to decrease her "baby fever." Using my infinite wisdom (HA!), I was able to help her feel better about her choice. And even though she's still feeling that baby-making urge, I think my words provided support and validation - two things she was really in need of.
It made me feel good to be able to be there for her and help her. I like to be a supportive friend and help when I can. And maybe that's selfish, but I think it's true -It feels good to do and be "good."
So I am happy on this 'Feel Good Friday' to be a good friend - to be able to help someone when they needed me. I hope I can do it again soon.
My thanks again to 'The Girl' and her meme. 'Feel Good Friday' is a great way to end the week!
I gotta know what did you tell her

ReplyDeletePoor friend :( How nice of you to be there for her and lend a listening ear and some advice, I'm sure she appreciated it more than you know!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! She's lucky to have a good friend like you!
ReplyDeleteSelfish or not, being good to people to make yourself feel good, is still a good thing. A whole lot better than being mean to people to make yourself feel good ;)
ReplyDeleteShe's lucky to have a friend like you.
How awesome that you were able to make her feel better. I'm always at a loss as to what to say in that situation.
ReplyDeleteI think that's great! Being a good friend is always a great thing! And coming from a person who has experienced infertility, it can be SUCH a difficult thing. I'd also love to know some of the advice you told her.
ReplyDeleteYou are a wonderful friend. Thank you for sharing.

If she came to my house around 4:30, she would never want children, ever, ever, again.
