In an evening class at Stanford University, the last lecture was on the
mind-body connection, the relationship between stress and disease.
The speaker said that one of the best things a man could do for his
health is to be married, whereas one of the best things a woman could
do for her health was to nurture her friendships with her girlfriend.
Women connect with each other differently, provide support that can
help each other deal with stress and difficult life experiences.
Physically this "girlfriend time" helps to create more Serotonin,
a neurotransmitter that helps combat depression and can create
a feeling of well being. This is a VERY GOOD thing for
our health.
So every time we sit and sew with your friends,
pat yourself on the back and congratulate yourself
for doing something good for your health
We are very very lucky.
