“One of you will definitely not be dancing in the new
video.”

“Pat couldn’t shake the image of one of you.”
“Someone on the front row has no rhythm.”
If you’ve seen the infamous Seinfeld episode, or worse, your
husband or friends call you “Elaine,” you know little is more mortifying than
finding out you just can’t dance.
Except this--hearing that sentiment from your record dude
friend who is a trusted confidante of the lead singer of Train, after Pat
Moynihan himself spots you dancing with your girlfriends at his Dallas concert.
“Oh my gosh. Is it me? Am I Elaine?!” our friend Andi
squealed in horror, after what will be forever remembered as The Night of the Greatest Ever Train Concert
in Dallas.
We girls are still trying to throw Andi under the bus, but honestly,
I think Pat was talking about me. Just
in case, from now on I will be limiting my vaudeville moves in public!

This Dallas adventure is the shortest trip we girls have
enjoyed together—just 28 hours total—but boy, did we make the most of every
minute. Friends like these light up a
woman’s soul. They love and accept and support, no matter what. And the
laughter and fun we provide each other will fuel us for months.
If you don’t have at least one friend with whom you have
this kind of relationship, you are missing out. Like mama always said, “The
best way to make a friend is to be one.”
So don’t wait another day to reach out to someone at work,
in yoga class, at church, synagogue or Mother’s Day Out. Give of yourself NOW.
And for Pete’s sake, stop competing with each other! As my girl Kaley phrased
it several years ago, “There is enough pie for everyone.”
