Hmmmmm......

Wish I could snap my fingers and just stop thinking about the things that are bothering me. I would like to have enough ware-with-all to control my thoughts do what I may know would be best. But it's not that easy to just....blink......and shut things off. It does take time.

So what is support???

1.to bear or hold up (a load, mass, structure, part, etc.); serve as a foundation for.

2. to sustain or withstand (weight, pressure, strain, etc.) without giving way; serve as a prop for.

3. to undergo or endure, esp. with patience or submission; tolerate.

4.to sustain (a person, the mind, spirits, courage, etc.) under trial or affliction: They supported him throughout his ordeal.

Tough love? Sometimes. Helping one realize the good about themselves....defiantly. I think people sometimes have a hard time seeing their strengths when they have been through a difficult time. Reinforcing what we see is not simple lip service.

No simple cheerleader here....just being, listening, validating......supporting.
