I begin and end each day with a prayer because I know a lot of my strength comes from the Lord.
Still there are those times when I need a human connection, that human support.
Undoubtedly my husband is always there, but lately I have found a lot of my strength comes from a new friend, who has been such a great support to me.
I can count on her words, she not only makes me smile, but over the last few weeks our constant phone calls and text messages have become a staple I look forward to.
I never seem to express much emotion on the topic of my TTC lately,
I talk around it and through it, and all up an down it but I never really get to the meat of my emotions on the matter, I'm one of those...."I'm fine" people.
With her I really don't need to talk much because she understands without me having to express it.
Yesterday was a day of distractions and hoping and wishing and wanting and as hubby was consumed with work I turned to the person I knew would give me some strength.
The person that I know wouldn't just tell me what I wanted to hear, or console me, but would find a way to tell me the truth while still keeping it positive.
Yesterday was an awakening for me just how much her words give me strength and can comfort me.
I wanted to take the time to just make mention and thank her for being a pilar for me to lean on, a guide and a friend.
Thanks Tonya!
Here is hoping these words lets each of you know that no matter what you face in life, you are stronger than you think!
