Wondering about my Wanderings

Support

November 24, 2013

The whole idea of being surprised by joy embraces supports. In the bracing of loose ends I feel better prepared to take on challenges that are ahead. Today I was surprised to hear from a caregiver who knew about the journey I was on. They too had issues of dealing with asthma and difficult people. They let me know that I was not alone. I was being supported and in that sense embraced.

This was a day for taking care of my friend's dog and cats. They are off in Colorado. They have been dealing financial stresses of all kinds and I was glad to be a support as mentioned above. At times I feel like I have little to offer. The dog and cat greet me in a way that lets me know that I am very much appreciated. I feel embraced, fundamentally sound ready for action.

I got my flu shot, a new hat for the colder weather and had my gloves on my hands a few hours ago. Sometimes the gloves seem to have a life of their own. The whole idea of support has to begin with my own intention to take care of myself. Unless I take care of myself, I am not good to anyone else. With that in mind I am on my way to my caregiving job. May God bless!! With God there surrounding me with so many different resources and caring persons I can never lose. Love is all around me!!!
