I hate saying that!
Of all the things I say everyday I have come to hate the word “coping”.
Probably because it’s not really true. “barely keeping my head above water” might be closer to the truth!

As I approach the end of week one of 2012, I’m looking forward, towards another year of “coping” another year of “barely keeping my head above water”.

Something must change, I don’t know what when or how but change, positive change, is a foot! It has to be!!

It’s the one thing that keeps me from succumbing to the waves, the ones that try their best to push me under.

Strong.
Another word I hate!
Seriously don’t tell me I’m strong! I’m not! I have no option but to continue that doesn’t make me strong, that makes me desperate, trapped, cornered.

I hope to regret this post soon!

I’m fascinated by perception and point of view, two human beings can experience the same thing but it can have a totally different meaning for them both.

What was just a simple chat for one party, was a life altering moment for the other.

We can have such a huge impact on our fellow human beings just by being with them, holding them, talking to them, kissing, laughing, tickling and sleeping with them.

Don’t underestimate the power your involvement in someone else’s life has. Smile at a stranger, yours might be the only smile they see in a week. 

Make a genuine connection, look people in the eye, actually listen. And give! Whether its your time, your energy, or even a small piece of yourself.

It might not even store itself in your memory banks but may just be the light the other person needs, a treasured memory that they look back on for years to come!
