I have no title for today....
Again, a month since my last post. So much for every day postings.
I've been quite busy this past month with many things, especially my photography business. Here is hoping I can find a balance to post more frequently over the summer.
Today I want to talk about support systems in your life.
A support system is comprised of perhaps your best friends, your family, maybe even your dog or cat. Most of all I find, the biggest support system of my life to be my husband. Not only is he my very best friend in the whole entire world, he is also my family and the love of my life. He holds me when I need to cry and some how when I'm down he always manages to make me smile or laugh. I'm still not sure after our 10 year relationship and 4 years of marriage how he does it. The man is like a magician. Most of all, he is just "there".
What a lot of people who are "support systems" don't understand is that they don't always have to say anything. For some reason these people think they need to find something to say or counter your statements. Really, sometimes we just need someone to listen and hug us when we are done crying, venting, freaking or what have you. If you are reading from a support system point of view, know that it is OK to say nothing at times.
I have the opinion that if you are someone who is headed to lean on your support system, you might also want to make it clear what exactly you are looking for at that point in time (advice, an ear to listen, a hug, a laugh, etc) this helps both yourself as well as your support system to get the most out of your interaction during that time. Of course, this is always easier said than done however, it is possible.
In addition, I believe you should tell your support systems as well as those around you, how much you love them, as well as how important they are to you. Perhaps how thankful you are to have them in your life. This makes you feel good by putting it out there and the people you are speaking to also know that they are appreciated.
That is my food for thought today.
I hope all the Canadians had a wonderful long weekend! Happy Canada Day!
To those Americans that follow this blog, enjoy your long weekend! Here is to Independence Day!
