Another main support system I use on a daily basis is my brother. My older brother and ‘I have establish this incredible relationship over the last few years. When I need and ear to listen, or simply want to go out and have fun, my brother is who I can count on. I admire him for his ambitions and what he has accomplished in life. I love the way he take life on step at a time, and lives it to the fullest. One thing my brother and I share is the love for photography. We grew up taking a lot of pictures, and I believe as adults we still love to do so as well as be in them. We love to capture those moments some might think are small. My brothers’ girlfriend and I are very close as well. I look up to here as an older sister, being that I have no real sister! We have created a strong bond, and I cannot wait to see where it takes us.
The next support system is the relationship my best girl-friends. I surround myself with people who have the same goals as I do in life. We all strive to be ambitious young leaders in our chosen career. I love these girls with my heart. I am able to talk to them about any and every thing from the weird to relationships to politics. These girls have always supported me, and gave me strength along the way. We all met in college, and formed long lasting bonds. When I am with them, I can truly be myself and not worry about them judging me. We have been there for each other with highs and lows including graduation, relationships, birthday days and more!
The last support system is my co-workers! Even though I recently met my co-workers in the last year, we have created loving caring relationships as well. I have never met a better group of people I love to work with. WE share our ideas and teaching secrets all the time. When I need that extra push to get through the day, I know I can rely on my assistant and co-workers!
Along with the unconditional love and support of my family, which I do not see every day, these are my support systems that get me through my days and weeks. They bring me joy, and through them I have learned so much about myself!!!
Great post. Knowing that you have friends who are caring and loving and is always there at all times both good and odd moment accepted. I think we all need support either ways ranging from physical, social-emotional, financial among others. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI think it is wonderful the support you have in your brother, friends, family, and co-workers. It is amazing to me to think about how much support we actually receive from our dear friends and family. I know it would be a completely different world if we did not have those supports in our lives. Good post!
ReplyDeleteHello Shana,
ReplyDeleteI truly enjoyed reading about your supports systems, especially your brother. Although I am older that my brother he and I are very close as well, your comments about how you and your brother have fun together and you and he are so close brought back such fond memories of my brother and I. In fact, even though I am other than my brother, for many years, I was not allowed to go out dancing (which I loved to do) without my brother. If he did not want to go, I could not go. Now I look back and I realize that I was very bless to have had my brother close by Shana… “Thanks for the memories.” : )
Exercise is a great support.
ReplyDeleteI don't exercise daily any more, but when I did it made a huge difference in my stress levels.
Having family to count on is so important.
