Need a cheer up message for a friend? Want to send an encouraging text to cheer up your friend? You’ve come to the right place!

 “When it rains, it pours … but soon, the sun shines again. Better days are ahead.”

That just might be the cheer up text that a friend needs to receive.

When you love someone as a friend (or more than a friend), you want them to be happy – right? Sometimes that isn’t the case when they’re going through tough situations or just dealing with more than they’d like. It might be just a bad day, or a sad day, or a rough month/year/decade. What’s important is letting her know that you’re there and that you care. Our friends look to us for encouragement and support – let’s be the kind of friend who provides it! Let’s be the friend who sends cheer up text messages!

Seems like everyone sends texts/IMs these days. Within a minute or two, you can brighten her day, make her smile, and let her know you’re thinking about her. You can command Siri (or whomever) to write it for you (well, you do have to say it). You can send her an inspiring quote (see ideas below or check out these quotes) or a funny photo/emoji (app below). There are lots of ways you can use technology, apps, SMS/texts to be a better friend and cheer up a friend – which is our goal here on Girlfriendology! (Here’s another 25 text messages to cheer up a friend!)

Copy from the following Cheer Up Text messages / SMS / IMs or share the quotes/images. Or personalize these cheer up messages to your girlfriend. The only thing that really matters is that you show her how much you care and how you’re there to cheer up your friend!

25 Cheer up Texts for Friends:

1. Just tell her you’re thinking about her: “Hope things are good for you today. Know I’m here and I care. Love you!” might be all that it takes to cheer her up!

2. Everyone likes to feel admired: “I don’t tell you often enough, but you really are amazing and very special to me. Thanks for being my friend. I’m here if/when you need me.”

3. Everyone loves a compliment, right? Make her feel pretty and loved with a text/IM like: “I hope your day is as nice as your butt” – or something equally silly (Love this keychain that says that – would make a great cheer up gift

4. Short and sweet: “You’re in my thoughts (and prayers). Hang in there!”

5. Acknowledge the tough situation: “I know – life isn’t fair sometimes. I’m here and I care.”

6. Send long distance love: “Distance can’t separate us. You’re close in my thoughts and prayers.”

7. Be honest: “Unfortunately, there’s no way around sadness, but through it. I’m here and will be whenever you need me.“

8. Just a simple reminder: “No matter how tough things are, I have so much faith in you. You are amazing and will be okay.”

9. Send a fun personalized emoji (App info below) to create a fun reminder that you: “I love you THIS MUCH!: (Sent by my BFF Cath)

10. Remind her that SHE CAN DO IT with a graphic like this one –> (Made with the app below)

11. More emoji’s: Cheer up! or ‘Thinkin bout you’ (Plus, she’ll love seeing your personalized emoji!)

12. Sometimes we all lose faith in ourselves. Remind her that you never question her strength with a short but so cherished message of: “Just so you know, I have faith in you. You’ll be okay. You’re stronger than you know.”

13. Send a fun photo that you have of her and you together. Tell her how much you value her and her friendship.

14. Completely make her day! Tell her three things you love about her, like: “I love how you go after your dreams like the 100-mile bike ride you did! I love how you work so hard to make your community better. I love how you make me laugh when we talk. Thanks for the gift of your friendship!”

INSPIRING QUOTES TO SHARE:

15. “When it rains, sometimes it pours. The sun always comes out again and it will. Better days are ahead.” – use the graphic above.

16. Share this scripture for Christian Girlfriends:  “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” Romans 8:28

17. Or this scripture:  “For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord.  Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

Thanksgiving comes but once a year, but living with a daily attitude of gratitude is actually good for your health. Science has shown that the chemistry in our brains actually change when we complain and when we compliment. So, kick negativity to the curb, and enjoy some …

Girlfriend Advice on living a Grateful Life:

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. John F. Kennedy

Say thank you. Make an effort to thank people with a simple two word, “thank you.” Did someone open the door for you? Say thank you. Did the waitress bring you a meal? Say thank you. Did your girlfriend do something that made you happy? Tell her thanks. Don’t stop at casual thank you’s. Make an effort to call someone up just to say thank you.

Besides telling others thanks, verbally, spend some time each day speaking out loud and listing the things that make you happy and the people for whom you’re most grateful. Those who are in touch with their spiritual side already do this as part of daily prayer. It may feel unnatural at first to audibly declare a list of what you are thankful for, but hearing yourself list off item, by item actually makes it more believable that you really are grateful.

Pay it forward and volunteer to be a part of random acts of kindness every day. Research has shown that the act of volunteering produces a rush of endorphins in the brain similar to what occurs during exercise. Instead of a runner’s high, it’s time to have your own little party of thankfulness whenever possible. Though, don’t forfeit exercise entirely. People who regularly get physical are less prone to depression and falling into other unhealthy pitfall habits.

Select a colorful pen, and keep a Gratitude Journal. Writing down your thoughts releases the stress of trying to remember and helps you focus on happy times. Jotting down daily thoughts won’t come naturally for some. If that’s the case, make a concerted effort to get in the habit of gratitude journaling every day. When you end up with a bad day, pull it out and read all the funny and uplifting thoughts you took the time to write about.

Spend time with girlfriends who make you smile. Reverse the idea that bad company corrupts good character and cultivate an attitude of gratitude versus negativity among friends. Thankfulness works like a magnet to gather others toward you, so don’t be surprised if your is it legal to buy diazepam online circle of friends starts to grow stronger and broader when you begin to live gratefully among friends.

Don’t limit your gratitude to the happy moments. Be thankful when things didn’t go the way you had hoped. Give thanks through the negative things in your life, accepting that everything is working together for your good. A popular internet meme says, “life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” It’s not a mere cliché. When you look back over your life, it’s quite often the negative experiences that built character and made you who you are.

Practice till you get it right. If you’re not accustomed to feeling gracious, it’s time to learn a new skill. New skills take practice to perfect. Use this helpful girlfriend advice on living a grateful life. Extend mercy and grace when you fail at being thankful, and use it as a starting point to getting back on track for more gratitude practice.

“Autumn is a second Spring where every leaf is a flower.” Albert Camus

I’ll be the first to admit that I am not a fan of sauerkraut. Finely cut cabbage fermented by various lactic acid bacteria is one step away from eating Kale (for you Dana!) – it hardly seems to me to be something to bring about happiness; much less something an entire town and its inhabitants would plan a fall festival around. But each fall, Waynesville, Ohio does exactly that, drawing thousands upon thousands of people – including me – to a weekend celebrating sauerkraut in all its glory.

The days are getting shorter, cooler, summer is on the wane and autumn is fast approaching. You can feel it. So it’s time to celebrate the harvest in a thousand different ways in a thousand different small towns – it is the happiness brought about at harvest festival time.

Whether it’s the Apple Festival in La Crescent, Minnesota, the Pumpkin Fest in Crest Hill, Illinois, or the Sussex County Harvest, Honey and Garlic Festival in Augusta, New Jersey, celebrating the prosperity, joy and happiness of the harvest has been a part of the human experience since time began.

Fall festivals are a reminder that there are fruits born of our labor, and that the labor isn’t always easy, but worth it in the end. I personally use the occasions to spend some time with my girlfriends. I’m thankful for the growth and harvest of real friendship. A festival is a great place to catch up on life, browse the arts and crafts, sample some unique food offerings, people watch, and do a great deal of smiling and laughing. Festivals make me happy.

Fall festival season has begun girlfriends, and continues through Thanksgiving, so do a little looking to find a few fall festivals in your buy modafinil online overnight area that would be a great way to spend a day with your girlfriends. Then make it a date!

And if you get to the Waynesville Sauerkraut Festival, make sure to try the sauerkraut pie! Seriously.

Never let anyone steal your SPARKLE.

Girlfriends have a wonderful way of bringing light and hope into our lives, right? Okay – well the GREAT Girlfriends do, but that’s our goal here at Girlfriendology, to be a GREAT Friend and that means we inspire our girlfriends to believe in themselves, feel beautiful and never let anyone steal their sparkle.

In the spirit of inspiring each other, here’re our 5 EASY ways YOU can inspire your Girlfriends …

1. Be POSITIVE. It’s easy to go negative but it’s inspiring NOT to. Be the friend who takes the supportive, affirmative, SPARKLY and helps her see the good over the bad. It may take a little effort to be positive when it would be so easy to go the opposite direction, but it’s kinda funny how being positive (even if you’re *kinda* just acting like it) can actually make you and her feel that way.

2. Be THOUGHTFUL and KIND. It just takes a moment to be thoughtful and kind. Be there for her on a bad day. Listen. Make her laugh. Inspire her by going a little further in your friendship – giving thoughtful girlfriend gifts, offering to run errands when you know she is completely overwhelmed, calling her when she needs to talk, asking about her day or performance review. It only takes a moment to be thoughtful – and I’m pretty sure you’ll inspire her to be there for you when you need her too!

3. Make it just about HER. My BFF Cath is doing amazing bike races this summer – like 100 miles in one day! Make your girlfriends feel special by showing up when they do something *crazy* like ride 100 miles! Or give her gifts that are personalized to her and her favorite things. Don’t make it about you and what’s going on in your life – make it about HER. What can you do/say/give her that makes the moment and memory special? Like how special her friendship is to you! Remind her that ‘life IS a beautiful ride’ with her as your friend!

4. Give her INSPIRING Gifts. I have a rule on holiday gifts for girlfriends. NEVER give them anything you’d give your mom, a random co-worker or the neighbor who you barely know. Gifts for girlfriends should be personal and meaningful, like a mug to express your friendship or a piece of art that shares your true sentiment.

5. Be GRATEFUL. And help remind her to be too. Show your gratitude for her friendship, for the good memories and happy times ahead, for the gift of health or even the gift of time together. Gratitude is contagious. On those days when she feels down, share your gratitude and faith that tomorrow will be a better day.

And – it is pretty EASY, right? The way to inspire your friends is to BE A BETTER FRIEND. You can do it!

Plan your Girlfriend Getaway Trip Now!

Nothing like a wild winter to get me thinking about getting out of town with a BFF or two! NOW is a great time to plan your girlfriend trip to somewhere fun and female-friendly. Planning ahead can save you money and make your girlfriend getaway even more fun!

Here’s some tips for planning your Girlfriend Getaway:

• * Book early for the best deals – thousands of hotels offering special deals for booking more than 14 days in advance.
• * Make sure your hotel is safe and that there is no access from outside – avoid the drive up to your room hotels.
• * When traveling with a group of girls, consider a vacation rental. Getaroom.com has thousands of vacation rental properties at rates typically lower than hotels but with much more space.
• * After you find the hotel you want, call 1800HOTELS8 and ask for the Unpublished rate – participating hotels are usually discounted 10-20% and as much as 60% off.
• * Consider hotels that have free breakfast and restaurant at the hotel. This way you can easily have your group meet up at the hotel for meals.
• * New York is the most popular girls vacation destination because girls like to shop and no better shopping than New York. Many new hotels have opened up recently with great rates.
• * San Francisco is also a very popular girls destination with great shopping in Union Square, great theatre and restaurants.

We’d like to thank Getaroom.com for the above female-friendly travel tips for girlfriend getaways. And we agree on New York City and San Francisco! (Don’t forget Wine country nearby too!)
