This unofficial holiday on Feb 13th was created by a character on a popular comedy tv series, where she celebrated with her women friends over brunch and gifts. It trends annually on social media with memes and quotes from the episode.
Personally, I have some pretty awesome women in my life, I could not have made it through this last year without my close five. Can’t wait to celebrate in person next year. This unofficial holiday has also inspired me to reach out to some old friends and colleagues that I have lost touch with. Funny how a fictional unofficial holiday can remind us of the special people we know.
Also good friends can have a positive impact on your health and well-being. They can help reduce your stress (sometimes just listening is enough), manage with traumas, help boost your self-confidence and celebrate positive events in your life.
So celebrate those great women in your life. Happy Galentine’s Day.
