It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to write a post about gratitude!
Feel free to click here (or below) to learn more about our Gratitude Project.
Okay – now for today’s post:
We have all had days that we wish we didn’t have to go through. We have all had experiences that we wish we could fast forward and not have to feel the sadness or pain or anger or any other strong emotion that came along with it. We have all had hard times in our lives where we just weren’t sure how we were going to make it through.
And just when we were at the brink of complete despair, that special someone stepped up and offered support and love and encouragement and understanding. That’s when we knew that we would be okay. We knew that we could lean just a little bit on this person – we could let them take some of the weight for just a little while.
Each of us has this special someone in our lives. It could be a spouse, family member, or best friend. Someone that we know we can go to when life gets overwhelming and too much to take on alone.
And what’s great about these relationships is that they are always reciprocated. Today maybe you are the one who needs to lean, and tomorrow they will be able to lean on you. That’s how these beautiful relationships work, and for that I am grateful.
Thank you to Dan for being that special someone for me.
Take a moment today and think about your special someone. Let them know how grateful you are for their love and support. Let them know how much you value and appreciate their presence in your life.
And then lean into them.
It’s okay.
They won’t let you fall.
Simply beautiful:):)
I do believe that this is the first post I've read that actually brought tears to my eyes! I do have that special someone and thank God I have him! I will definitely be leaning in 2 weeks when my daughter moves over 1000 miles from home. I will defintely be telling him how much I appreciate him and how grateful I am for him.
Wonderful post!
Just hearing my husband's voice calms me immediately. Occasionally work will get crazy-stressful, where I can't even think straight, and I'll call up.. "Hello Love! It's crazy-busy here and I just wanted to stop and say hi!" I don't unload on him or anything, just say hello.. and I feel instant relief. An amazing person, that one.
Thank you for your sweet comments, everyone! 🙂
Sher – I'm so glad this post touched you! And I'm even more glad that you have a special someone to lean on. I'll be thinking of you and sending extra virtual hugs when your daughter goes away in a couple of weeks.
Holly – Isn't love great? I'm so glad you can lean on your hubby! 🙂
