Encouragement


Have you ever felt like you couldn't go on?

Have you ever thought that if you had one more day like the previous one you might just fall apart? 

I have!!  In fact it happens a lot around here.

Probably if every mom was honest--we would say we frequently have discouraging days.

So............what do you do to encourage the other mom's around you?

Now, I know what you are thinking--"I'm so busy that I don't have time to help anyone else."

But, I'm not necessarily talking about physical help--although that would be nice too.

I'm talking about words.  (One of my favorite things by the way.)

Often I get so busy with all my own crises that I forget to notice and encourage the people around me.

It only takes a minute of time.

You could send a note.

Make a phone call.

Write an email.

Or simply drop in. (Maybe you should call first, or you might create more stress.)

I can't tell you what it means to me to have someone let me know that they were thinking of me.

Makes my load SO much lighter.

So--go ahead--encourage someone today!!

Then tell me about it in the comments. : )
