You are so right in saying that women who get together to focus on what's right in their lives grow closer as friends and become stronger as individuals. A few months ago I started an online gratitude journal, and invited friends to log in every day to write about what is good about their lives. Soon, our offline conversations began to change from "trouble talk" to "gratitude talk." Now, when we pick up the phone, it is to share good news, or to put a positive spin on a bad situation. Our brains are being re-wired to see what's good about our lives, rather than focus on what's not working.
