Support Systems

When you are given the 10 pound bag of lemons, you sometimes feel like you've just purchased a ticket on a roller coaster ride of emotions! Much of it deals with fearing the unknown, being anxious, scared, worried, fearful or other feelings. This is when it is time to rely on those few people who know will always be there for you at your most vulnerable because these are the select few who believe in you and will always be there no matter what!! They are there when life is going great, when it's a bit humdrum and when, well feels like the world is crashing down on you. They are there to just listen, not necessarily solve any problems, but just listen and be there. It's a small and very important selective group that we are all very thankful to have in our lives. These are the people who you will always be there for them as well and have seen them when they are handed that bag of lemons. And lo and behold, that bag of lemons is transformed into nice, sweet lemonade. And yet, when another is given that bag of lemons, we doubt if it's going to turn into lemonade when we have witnessed EVERYTIME with others that it always turns out that way!! We need to trust in our support group and trust that it will be sweeter than before! That bag of lemons always has a little lesson inside and it's up to the person to take advantage of an adverse situation, rely on the support group and come out the other side a better and stronger person!! One must go through dark times to get to the bright happy side on the other end!! And when we do, our support group is right there cheering us on as well!!
